Queensland's mean maximum temperature was highest on record in 2013. The year started with some exceptionally hot weather, with high temperature records broken. Locally, there was very heavy rain, especially in January, but it was generally a dry year west of the Great Dividing Range. Mt Isa and Tambo had their lowest annual rainfall on record.

• Mean maximum temperature highest on record
• Record hot start to the year
• Record rain in the east in January from ex-tropical cyclone Oswald
• Four tropical cyclones

Highest mean maximum temperature on record 

Averaged across Queensland, 2013's mean maximum temperature was the highest on record at 1.51 °C above the 1961-90 average of 29.89 °C. The mean maximum temperature beat the previous 2002 record by a margin of 0.08 °C and is the highest in 104 years. Several sites recorded their highest mean daily maximum temperature.
The mean temperature (average of the maximum and minimum temperatures) was 1.22 °C above the 1961-90 average of 23.23 °C and the second-highest on record (just  0.02 °C below the 2005 record).  Both 2005 and 2013 are the only years since records began in 1910 where the departure from the average is greater than 1 °C.  Many individual sites had their highest mean temperature on record. 
The mean minimum temperature was fifth-highest on record at 0.93 °C above the 1961-90 average of 16.57 °C. Croydon equalled its highest minimum temperature on record.

A record hot start to the year

It was a hot start to the year in Queensland, with extreme heat affecting the state in the first weeks of January. Birdsville Airport reached 49.0 °C on 13 January, the second-highest temperature ever recorded in Queensland (behind 49.5 °C at Birdsville Police Station in 1972) and the highest on record for January. On the same day Thargomindah Airport reached 48.8 °C, the second-highest Queensland January temperature. Numerous records were broken as part of a heatwave that affected large parts of Australia (see Special Climate Statement 43 for more details).   

A record warm spring

Warm conditions continued through much of the year. It was the warmest spring on record for Queensland (and Australia), and September brought unusually hot days and nights. Julia Creek had the earliest 40 °C spring day ever registered in Queensland on 12 September, then reached 40.4 °C on the 14th. Numerous site and area records were broken, as detailed in Special Climate Statement 46.

Tropical cyclones and heavy rainfall

Following the intense heat at the start of the year, there was a switch to wet weather before the end of January - category 1 tropical cyclone Oswald was named on the afternoon of 21 January. Very heavy rainfall during the period 22 to 29 January resulted from ex-tropical cyclone Oswald, along with extensive flooding for much of the east coast of Queensland (see Special Climate Statement 44, and the detailed Queensland Flood Report).  Numerous daily rainfall records were broken during this time.

Tropical cyclone Sandra was named on 7 March and reached severe tropical cyclone intensity on the 10th, and tropical cyclone Tim was named on 14 March, but neither crossed the coast. The last tropical cyclone for the year was named Zane on 30 April and brought squally showers and areas of heavy rain, but weakened rapidly to a tropical low as it moved westward over the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Waterspouts, tornadoes and severe thunderstorms occurred several times during the year. At least ten tornadoes or waterspouts were reported between 15 and 27 January, especially in the Bundaberg region. Waterspouts were also reported near Burrum Heads on 24 February, the Gold Coast on 7 April and Maroochydore on 9 April, and off North Stradbroke Island on 28 June. Severe thunderstorms caused damage northwest of Warwick on 13 June. There were several outbreaks of thunderstorms through November and December, including severe storms that brought very large hail and damaging squalls. 

The highest annual rainfall was recorded at Bellenden Ker Top Station, with 6991 mm. Babinda and Tully recorded 3801 mm and 3532 mm respectively (all subject to further quality control).

Dry west of the Divide

It was very dry in the northwest and extending into the Northern Territory, along with parts of the central and southern interior extending across the New South Wales border. There were areas of record low rainfall in the northwest, the central and the southern interior. Several sites had their lowest total rainfall on record or their lowest total rainfall for many years. Mt Isa only received 69 mm for the year, its lowest on record (46 years of record), and only 18% of the long-term average of 463 mm. This is the first time Mt Isa has received less than 100 mm of annual rainfall. Tambo had the lowest rainfall on record (133 years of record), receiving only 169.5 mm, 30% below the long term average of 533.9 mm.

In contrast, the east coast of the state south of Bowen to the New South Wales border and parts of far northern Queensland received close to or above average annual rainfall, and some patches received up to twice their average annual total. The rain that fell as a result of ex-tropical cyclone Oswald contributed to most of the rain in these areas, particularly across the Capricorn Coast and Wide Bay districts.

Averaged across the whole state, the 489.89 mm was 21% below the long-term average of 623.4 mm.
