Warmest November on record- Western Australia in November 2006

Western Australia as a whole experienced the warmest November on record, the latest Western Australia monthly climate summary contains much more detail on the extremes and records across Western Australia during November whilst the latest Perth monthly climate summary and Perth seasonal climate summary provide the weather for Perth.

The Bureau of Meteorology expects to issue an annual climate statement for Western Australia on the afternoon of Wednesday 3 January 2007 (along with the December summary).

These climate summaries have replaced media releases as the Bureau of Meteorology's main collation of such information. The summaries will normally be issued on the first working day of each month, once all the relevant observations are received (for example, maximum temperatures for the last day of the month are not available before the thermometers are checked at 9 am on the 1st). The summaries will cover what has happened across the whole state. An archive of earlier months is available at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/month/wa/archive/, with an archive of earlier seasons at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/season/wa/archive/
