New South Wales in 2014: the warmest year on record

New South Wales experienced its warmest year on record in 2014, with several heatwaves and persistently warm conditions across the State. Rainfall was well below average in the northeast, and close to average elsewhere.

• Warmest year on record for mean temperatures
• Equal-warmest year on record for maximum temperatures
• Fourth-warmest year on record for minimum temperatures
• Below average rainfall, particularly in the northeast

New South Wales recorded its warmest year on record during 2014, with statewide average temperatures 1.41 °C above the historical average and slightly higher than the previous record set in 2009 (+1.37 °C). Both maximum (+1.76 °C) and minimum (+1.06 °C) temperatures were in the warmest five years on record for NSW, with numerous stations breaking records for one or more of these. The main feature of the year was the persistence of warm temperatures, with several significant heatwaves as well as the warmest spring maximum temperatures on record. Many stations broke daily temperature records during January and November. New South Wales has now seen 30 consecutive months with above-average temperatures, with the 2013–2014 mean temperature 1.32 °C above average and 0.22 °C above the previous record two-year period (2006–2007).

Rainfall averaged across New South Wales during 2014 was 465.8 mm, 16% below the historical average and the driest year since 2006. Rainfall was well below average in the northeast of the State and along parts of the southern border, with totals closer to average elsewhere in the State. Rainfall was generally average to below average throughout the year, with only March, August and December recording substantially above average rainfall while spring rainfall totals were the eleventh-lowest on record.
