Summary

Victorian rainfall during 2009 was close to normal in the northwest of the State, and also along the west coast.

However, the start to the year was very dry, and, although rainfall improved during the second half of 2009, totals still finished up below the long-term normals in central and eastern Districts.

Daytime temperatures were above normal throughout, averaging up to 3 deg C above normal along the Murray River, but, by contrast, only between 0.5 and 1 deg C above normal along the western and central coasts.

Overnight temperatures were above normal by about 0.5 to 1 deg C in most Districts, but along the western central and South Gippsland coast, they were mostly close to normal.

Melbourne's average maximum temperature was 21.6 deg C (normal: 19.8 deg C), whilst the city's overnight minimum averaged 12.0 deg C (normal: 10.2 deg C). 459.6 mm of rain fell (normal: 647.7 mm).

The improved rainfall during the second half of the year may be explained in terms of the strengthening of the westerly flow to the south of the Australian continent as the year progressed.

To illustrate, during the first half of 2009, we saw a persistence of strong blocking high pressure systems to the south of Tasmania and the Tasman Sea, with Mean Sea Level pressure up to 3 hPa above normal, which prevented fronts in the westerlies from affecting Victoria.

By contrast, during the second half of 2009, we saw a persistence of low pressure systems to the south of the Australian continent, with Mean Sea Level pressure up to 3 hPa below normal, which facilitated the passage of fronts in the westerlies across Victoria.

Some sites had their highest temperature on record.

Some sites had their highest mean daily maximum temperature on record.

Some sites had their highest mean daily maximum temperature for at least 10 years.

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 highest mean daily minimum temperature for at least 10 years.

Is it possible to link the large number of temperature records to long term climate change?

A paper by Neville Nicholls, who is a Professorial Fellow in the School of Geography and Environmental Science at Monash University, nicely covers this issue. Neville joined Monash in February 2006 after 35 years of research on climate variability and change at the Bureau of Meteorology. He has published more than 145 refereed journal papers on scientific aspects of climate and climate change.

His paper, "Extremes, climate change and disasters", was presented at The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research's "Modelling Workshop 2009: Modelling & Understanding High Impact Weather", which was held at the Bureau of Meteorology, several weeks ago.

The January-February heatwave

An exceptional heatwave affected south-eastern Australia during late January and early February 2009. The most extreme conditions occurred in northern and eastern Tasmania, most of Victoria and adjacent border areas of New South Wales, and southern South Australia, with many records set both for high day and night time temperatures as well as for the duration of extreme heat. There were two major episodes of exceptional high temperatures, from 28-31 January and 6-8 February, with slightly lower but still very high temperatures persisting in many inland areas through the period in between.

Widespread very hot conditions began to develop in the southeast from 27 January onwards. The presence of a slow-moving high pressure system in the Tasman Sea, combined with an intense tropical low off the northwest coast of Western Australia and an active monsoon trough, provided the ideal conditions for hot air of tropical origin to be directed over the southern parts of the continent. The initial acute phase of the heatwave extended from 28 to 30 January, with many individual-day records set on those days. A weak change brought some relief to southern coastal areas from 31 January onwards, but inland areas, as well as much of South Australia, remained very hot until 5 February. Extreme heat then returned throughout most of the region (except Tasmania), peaking on 7 February when record high temperatures were set across most of Victoria, before the Tasman Sea high finally moved away on the 8th.

Australia's warmest August on record, and Victoria's warmest winter on record

August 2009 was Australia’s warmest on record, whilst Victoria also had its warmest winters on record. Above-average daytime temperatures persisted over the Australian subtropics for almost all August, due to a lack of cold outbreaks (that would normally bring air of Southern Ocean origin northwards), as well as a lack of moisture and consequent persistent clear skies, allowing greater warming from the sun. This has had the greatest effect on the daytime temperatures; however, night-time temperatures were also well above average, most likely due to the very warm air-mass which accumulated over the period.  

The November heatwave

An exceptionally prolonged heatwave has affected large parts of central and south-eastern Australia during November 2009. Temperatures well above average began to influence much of the region on the weekend of 7-8 November. The hot spell continued largely unbroken, except in some southern and coastal areas, until 15 November. Slightly cooler conditions then prevailed on 16-17 November, particularly in Victoria and southern South Australia, before the heat returned from the 18th, with the highest temperatures of the whole event between November 18 and 20.

The first stage of the event, broadly from 7-15 November, was more exceptional for its duration than its intensity. Few records were set for individual high temperatures, but many were set, especially in South Australia, for the number of consecutive days above high temperature thresholds such as 35 or 40°C. Prolonged hot spells are rare in November, compared with summer and early autumn, in southern Australia for a number of reasons; most significantly, that the subtropical high pressure belt is normally much further north in November than it is between December and March, allowing frontal systems to influence the southern continent on a regular basis instead of passing to the south as can occur later in the year.
