Rainfall
In 2006, NSW recorded its ninth driest year since statewide average records began in 1900. The statewide average rainfall for the year was just 349 mm compared to the historical average1 of 566 mm. Significant widespread rain in late December lifted the statewide annual rainfall average from what was to be the fifth driest year on record. Almost the entire state recorded below average rainfall for the year. With enhanced southeasterly winds onto the northern coast for much of the year the northeast of the state was spared from the El Niño induced drought and a small area of the central Northern Rivers recorded above average rainfall for the year. In stark contrast, the failure of cold fronts to deliver significant rainfall from autumn through spring resulted in large tracts of the southern and central slopes of the Great Divide recording lowest annual rainfall totals on record. Much of these areas, as well as parts of the Illawarra and South Coast, received between 400 and 800 mm below their average annual rainfall. Many centres recorded their lowest annual rainfall on record including Condobolin, Dubbo, Forbes, Griffith and Cabramurra (see Map 1). The drought commenced with below average rainfall in February and continued through the remainder of the year with the most severe rainfall deficiencies occurring in winter and spring with the onset of El Niño.
It was the third driest year on record for the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) with the basin receiving an average of just 282 mm compared to the historical annual average of 504 mm. Only the years 1902 (256 mm) and 1944 (274 mm) were drier.
The drought of 2006 represents a continuation of the protracted dry period affecting the state since 2001. The current six year period 2001−2006 is third only to the mid 1940s and Federation drought in the early 1900s. The only extended period drier than present for the MDB was the 6 year period ending 1945.
Some sites had their lowest total rainfall on record.
See a map of total rainfall and rainfall deciles.
Temperature
2006 was the fifth warmest year on record for statewide averaged mean temperatures (the average of the maximum and minimum temperature). The annual mean temperature for the state was 0.8ºC above the historical average1 (records since 1910). (See Figure 1)
With a statewide average maximum temperature 1.6 degrees above the historical average of 23.9ºC, 2006 was the second hottest for day-time temperatures the state has recorded. The Murray Darling Basin (MDB) also recorded its second warmest year on record with maximum temperatures 1.6ºC above the historical average of 24.5ºC (See Map 2). The El Niño year of 2002 was the only year with warmer maximum temperatures since records began in 1910. The year began with extreme heat across the state on January 1 with Sydney Observatory Hill recording its second hottest day on record (44.2°C) and Sydney Airport 45.2°C (highest on record). (See Map 3). The years 2006, 2005, and 2002 all rank in the top 5 hottest the state has recorded since 1910. Significantly, this is a record tenth consecutive year of above average maximum temperatures for the state. (See Figure 2) This continues the pattern of rising temperatures consistent with global warming but was also exacerbated this year by the occurrence of El Niño. Reduced cloudiness and dry soils resulted in above average maximum temperatures.
The overall statewide average minimum in 2006 was 0.1ºC above the historical average of 10.8ºC, with minimum temperatures above average in the north of the state. However, the far south of the state and an area extending from the Sydney Metropolitan to the Central Tablelands recorded lower than average minimum temperatures, with some areas near the Victorian border and around Sydney experiencing very much below average minimum temperatures (See Map 4). The cold nights were a result of the drought which reduced soil and atmospheric moisture to a minimum, enabling the dry land surface to cool quickly at night under clear skies. As with the maximum temperatures, 2006 is a record tenth consecutive year of above average statewide minimum temperatures. (See Figure 3).
With cold nights and warm days, the drought, also produced a higher than average diurnal temperature range (i.e. the difference between the daytime maximum and night time minimum). The diurnal temperature range experienced this year was the sixth highest on record across the state and seventh highest for the MDB, some 1.3ºC to 1.4ºC above average.
Some sites had their highest temperature on record.
Some sites had their highest mean daily maximum temperature on record.
Some sites had their lowest temperature on record.
Some sites had their warmest night (highest daily minimum temperature) on record.
Some sites had their highest mean daily minimum temperature on record.
Some sites had their lowest mean daily minimum temperature on record.

Notes
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 8 am on Wednesday 3 January 2007. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
A note about deciles: Deciles are used to give an element (in this case rainfall or temperature) a ranking. Deciles are calculated by arranging the totals in ascending order (from lowest to highest) then splitting them into 10 equal groups (thus the groups are called deciles). The first group would be in decile range one, the second group in decile range two, etc up to the highest annual totals (highest 10 per cent) being in decile range 10.
1Averages: Averages are based on the period 1961 to 1990 which is a convention of the World Meteorological Organisation
Normals are long-term averages based on observations from all available years of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 20 years of record, as they cannot then be calculated reliably.
Drought information is available from the NSW Department of Primary Industries http://www.agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/drt-area
