New South Wales in 2018: warmest year on record, very dry
2018 was the warmest on record for New South Wales for both mean temperature and mean maximum temperature, whilst the mean minimum temperature was fourth-warmest on record. The year was dominated by very dry conditions, with the third-driest January to September on record. October to December saw some relief from the dry, with above average rainfall across parts of the State. Despite this, New South Wales experienced its sixth-lowest annual rainfall on record; its driest year since 2002.
The Australian annual climate statement provides a comprehensive summary of Australia's climate during 2018. Information about changes and long-term trends in Australia's climate can be found in State of the Climate 2018.
Sixth-driest year on record
- A very dry year for New South Wales as a whole; 40% below average, the sixth-driest year on record and the driest since 2002
- It was particularly dry during autumn and winter with May rainfall eighth-lowest on record, and July fifth-lowest (for more details see Special Climate Statement An abnormally dry period in eastern Australia)
- October and November were the only months of 2018 where the State's total rainfall was above the monthly average
- In October, the heaviest rainfall was focussed along the northern two thirds of the east coast, while November was mostly in the south and central regions
- Despite the low total rainfall, surface troughs and low pressure systems resulted in locally heavy falls throughout the year and a few sites even had their wettest day on record
- Below average rainfall for the year resulted in more than two-thirds of the State ranking in the driest 10% of historical observations (decile 1) and multiple sites had their lowest total rainfall on record
Warmest year on record
- 2018 was the warmest on record for New South Wales, with a mean temperature 1.68 °C above average (the previous record anomaly of +1.50 °C was observed in both 2017 and 2014)
- Many individual sites across the State experienced their highest annual mean temperature on record
- The State's mean maximum temperature was also highest on record, 2.13 °C above average and well above the previous record of +1.92 °C in 2017
- Many sites had their highest annual mean daily maximum temperature on record
- Above average monthly mean maximum temperatures have persisted over the past two years; April 2017 was the last time the State as a whole experienced a cooler than average month
- Minimum temperatures for the year overall were very warm, with the 2018 mean minimum temperature for the State fourth-warmest on record and 1.23 °C above average
- Extreme heat featured throughout 2018, and especially so in January, April and December
- January, the fifth-warmest on record for New South Wales, saw record high daily temperatures across the Sydney region (as detailed in the Special Climate Statement Record warmth in the Tasman Sea, New Zealand and Tasmania)
- April was record warm (as detailed in the Special Climate Statement Persistent summer-like heat sets many April records) and saw a monthly mean maximum temperature anomaly of +4.45 °C
- The New South Wales mean minimum temperature for December was the highest on record, including record warm nights at Hume and Griffith
- While the months from May to September experienced near-average nights for the State as a whole, some clear nights during the winter months brought cooler than average night time temperatures and numerous sites had their lowest temperature on record

Notes
The annual climate summary lists the main features of the weather in New South Wales using the most timely and accurate information available on the date of publication; it will generally not be updated. More extensive discussion of significant weather events, along with later information and data that has had greater opportunity for quality control, will be presented in the Monthly Weather Review.
The Australian annual climate statement provides a comprehensive summary of Australia's climate during 2018. Information about changes and long-term trends in Australia's climate can be found in State of the Climate 2018.
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 1 pm on Wednesday 9 January 2019. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
In some situations, some or all of the rainfall is in the form of hail or snow. In these cases the totals given are for the water equivalent: the depth of liquid water that results from melting any frozen precipitation. There can be significant 'undercatch' of snow in strong winds, meaning the true precipitation can be higher than that reported.
Averages for individual sites are long-term means 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 10 years of record, as they cannot then be calculated reliably.
The median
is sometimes more representative than the
mean
of long-term average rain.
The Rank indicates how rainfall this time compares with the climate record for the site,
based on the
decile ranking
(very low rainfall is in decile 1, low in decile 2 or 3,
average in decile 4 to 7, high in decile 8 or 9
and very high is in decile 10).
The Fraction of average shows how much rain has fallen this time as a
percentage of the long-term mean.
Where temperature area averages are mentioned, they are derived from the ACORN-SAT dataset.
