North Australian Monsoon activity in 2013

In the 2012-13 wet season, the monsoon did not arrive at Darwin until late January (on average, the onset of the North Australian Monsoon in the Top End occurs around the last week of December). On the 15th of January, a surface based low pressure system formed over central Queensland and began moving to the northwest in the ensuing days. At the middle levels of the atmosphere the monsoon trough began shifting south to meet the surface low. This caused the onset of the North Australian Monsoon over Darwin and most of the Top End around the 18th of January; about three weeks later than usual.

However, this first monsoon burst was quite brief across the Top End. By 19 January, two low pressure systems had formed within the monsoon trough, one over eastern Australia that would eventually become tropical cyclone Oswald and the other over northwestern Australia that would eventually become tropical cyclone Peta. With these two tropical systems on either side of the Northern Territory during the last week of January, the Top End experienced a lull in monsoon activity (scant rainfall and high temperatures) despite being under the influence of the monsoon trough.

In the 2013-14 wet season, unlike the prior wet season, monsoonal activity came early to the Top End in November 2013. The monsoon trough moved over the continent from around the 19th through to the end of the month. Many locations experienced monsoonal conditions including thick cloud cover and heavy rainfall during this period. Darwin Airport experienced heavy rainfall and sustained westerly winds on the 22nd and 23rd, coinciding with the monsoon onset there. Rainfall continued through the end of the month over the Roper McArthur and Barkly Districts associated with ex-tropical cyclone Alessia.

One tropical cyclone for the NT in 2013, Alessia

Following the early monsoon onset, one tropical cyclone made landfall on the Northern Territory in 2013. Beginning as a tropical low near Java on 20 November, tropical cyclone Alessia officially reached tropical cyclone strength on the 22nd off Australia's northwest shelf. The storm skirted the Kimberley coastline and made landfall on the western Top End on the 24th as a weak category 1 system. After making landfall, Alessia weakened to a tropical low and moved across the Top End, producing heavy rainfall across the region. Ex-tropical cyclone Alessia thenre-intensified over the warm waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria on the 26th and 27th. The strongest wind gust recorded in the NT this year was at Centre Island with 109 km/h on 27 November as tropical cyclone Alessia passed over the island. Alessia made landfall again about 70 km west of the NT/Queensland border, and remained in the region as a tropical low until the end of the month.

Rainfall: A dry start to the year, but a wet finish

As the year began, the Northern Territory was experiencing one of the driest starts to any wet season on record. When averaged across the NT, January 2013 was the driest January since 1994. February also saw unseasonably dry conditions with only 44% of normal rainfall for the month. March and April finally saw some wet weather, especially over the Easter long weekend (29 March to 2 April) as a low pressure system moved along the north coast. While some sites had their highest daily rainfall on recordover the Easter weekend, this rainfall was just barely enough to prevent most coastal locations from seeing their driest wet season on record. Most places ended the wet season with very much below average rainfall.

The 2013/14 wet season started slowly for most of the NT. October and early November saw a few thunderstorms over the western Top End, but the rest of the Territory missed out. This dry spell ended as the monsoon trough formed over the Top End much earlier than usual. Rainfall associated with ex-tropical cyclone Alessia during the last week of November over the Barkly and Roper-McArthur districts resulted in at least 31 Top End locations experiencing their wettest November on record. There was a break in the monsoon in the first half of December, but it returned during the last week of the year.

The wettest overall in the NT for 2013 was Pirlangimpi with 1997.6 mm, whilst the driest overall was Jervois with 98.8 mm—a new record low for this site. The wettest single day was at Mataranka Airstrip with 262.1 mm on in the 24 hours to 9 am on 29 March.

Temperature: Warmest year on record

2013 was the hottest year on record for the Northern Territory in terms of both maximum and mean temperature, and the third-highest for minimum temperature. The mean temperature (average of the daily maximum and minimum) for the NT was 26.50 °C which is 1.33 °C above the 1961-90 average and 0.07 °C above the previous record of 26.43 °C set in 1998. Bradshaw had the highest annual mean temperature in the NT this year with 29.5 °C; the coolest was Arltunga with 22.0 °C.

Maximum temperature

The NT's mean maximum temperature for the year was 33.45 °C, which is 1.56 °C above average and the highest on record (previous highest was 33.13 °C in 2005). High maximum temperatures were present throughout the year, especially at Alice Springs Airport, which set new maximum temperature records for the months of January and September, the entire winter season (June-August), the entire northern dry season (May-September) and also saw their hottest calendar year (highest annual mean maximum temperature). Several other sites had highest annual maximum temperature on record,including Tennant Creek Airport, Victoria River Downs, Gove Airport, Tindal RAAF, and Yulara Aero. Rabbit Flat and Mango Farm were among the sites that set their highest daily temperature on record during the year. There were no low maximum temperature records set for the year.

Significant heatwaves

The year began with several maximum temperature records and record hot spells being set in January 2013. A heatwave early in January was exceptional in its extent and duration, affecting most of Australia. From the 1st to the 17th inclusive, daytime temperatures at the Alice Springs Airport rose over the 40 °C mark, surpassing the previous record spell of 12 days over 40 °C set in 2006. Although Alice Springs failed to break the record of the hottest January day (set in 1960 with 45.2 °C), it did break the January mean maximum temperature record with 40.1 °C. This is 0.1 degrees warmer than the previous record of 40.0 °C set in January 2006. To the south of Alice Springs, Yulara Aero surpassed the 44.0 °C mark 10 days in a row (4 to 13 January, inclusive), exceeding their previous record streak of four days above 44.0 °C, set in 1998. It was in the midst of these excessive heat spells that Walungurru hit 46.7 °C on 9 January, and Rabbit Flat also had a maximum temperature of 46.7 °C on 25 January; this was the highest temperature reached in the Territory during 2013.

Another significant heat wave occurred in September when Alice Springs Airport saw 15 consecutive days above 30 °C. This was the longest heat spell of this magnitude for any September on record at Alice Springs Airport, and marks the earliest springtime dates that such temperatures were recorded at Alice Springs. Alice Springs Airport had 9 days above 35 °C in September, equaling the record from 2003.

Minimum temperature

The NT's mean minimum (overnight) temperature for the year was 19.56 °C, which is 1.11 °C above average, the third-highest on record. Batchelor Aero and Groote Eylandt Airport were among the sites to see their warmest night (highest daily minimum temperature) on record, and  Kulgera had its highest annual minimum temperature on record.

The coolest nights on average were at Alice Springs Airport with 14.0 °C. Arltunga saw the coldest nights in the Territory, with -2.7 °C on 21 June and then its coldest night-time temperature of -3.4 °C on 22 June, followed by -2.8 °C on 23 June.

Cape Don had the warmest nights on average this year with a 25.8 °C mean overnight temperature. The warmest night was at Walungurru with 32.8 °C on 22 January.

Darwin region annual summary

2013 saw the third-highest mean annual maximum temperature at Darwin Airport, with 32.7 °C. This was the hottest year since 2005. Minimum temperatures were also very much above average this year, with a mean annual minimum temperature of 23.5 °C, 0.3 °C above average.

During the dry season (May to September) the number of nights below 20 °C at Darwin Airport provides a good indicator of human comfort level and also has some horticultural significance. The minimum temperature at Darwin Airport dropped below 20 °C only 38 times during 2013’s dry season, well down on the long-term average of 51 such nights and a stark difference to the last two years (there were 94 nights below 20 °C in 2011 and 86 nights in 2012). Darwin had experienced only four nights below 20 °C in June this year. There was a run of 20 nights below 20 °C between 24 July and 13 August. 2 September was the last night this season to see the temperature drop below 20 °C.

Darwin Airport had 1758.0 mm of rain for the year, which is near the long-term average (1729.7 mm). After a much drier than average January, Darwin Airport saw near average rainfall throughout the rest of the year. An early monsoon onset in November made up for most of the rainfall deficit that had been lingering since January. The wettest single day this year at Darwin was 5 November, as a band of thunderstorms moved over the city setting several November daily rainfall records. Darwin Airport had 105.0 mm, Darwin Botanic Gardens had 158.8 mm, Nightcliff Pool had 82.6 mm and Palmerston had 78.2 mm.
