Western Australia in 2016: unusually hot in the north; above average rainfall in the south and east

It was an unusually hot year over most of the northern half of Western Australia, with record high annual mean temperatures recorded in the Kimberley and east Pilbara, whilst temperatures were below average in southwest parts of the State. It was a wet year for much of southern and eastern WA, with a number of locations in the South West Land Division recording their wettest year for several decades.

Above average rainfall in the south and east; dry near the west and northwest coast

• Parts of the Pilbara and Kimberley had a relatively dry 2015-16 wet season, but recorded unusually high rainfall in the dry season and at the start of the 2016-17 wet season; it was the fifth-wettest May to October period on record for northern WA (north of 26°S)
• Much of the southern half of WA observed an unusually wet January and March, and though winter rainfall was generally below average, frequent rainfall events occurred; some locations in the South West Land Division had their wettest year on record, or their wettest for several decades
• Significant rainfall events in the South West Land Division in January, March, and July brought record high daily rainfall to some sites
• Tropical cyclone Yvette developed to the west of the Kimberley in the second half of December, the third tropical cyclone in the WA region for the calendar year following Stan in late January, and Uriah in mid-February. A tropical low that moved over the Kimberley from the northeast was followed by ex-tropical cyclone Yvette moving in from the west and both brought areas of heavy rainfall to the Kimberley in the second half of December
• When averaged across the State, rainfall in 2016 for WA was above average and the wettest year since 2011, similarly the South West Land Division recorded an above average year and also the wettest since 2011
• Christmas Island, about 1600 km northwest of the Australia mainland, had its wettest year on record with 5120.8 mm, during which spring was exceptionally wet. Despite a small amount of rainfall data being unavailable in 2016, this was more than 1000 mm higher than the previous record wet year in 1978

Record warm year in the north; near average in the south

• The annual mean maximum temperature for Western Australia was 0.56 °C above average, the coolest since 2011. The year included WA's fifth-warmest autumn and ninth-warmest April on record.
• Daytime temperatures were consistently warmer than normal in the Kimberley with several sites setting annual mean maximum temperature records
• Wyndham Aerodrome set a new Australian record annual mean maximum temperature of 37.5 °C
• Cooler than normal autumn, winter, and spring days in southwest WA resulted in a few sites recording their coolest year on record, and several sites having their coolest year since at least 1993
• The annual mean minimum temperature for WA was 0.65 °C above average, the equal eighth-highest on record, largely due WA recording its fourth-warmest autumn and seventh-warmest winter on record
• A number of sites in the Pilbara and Kimberley recorded their highest annual mean minimum temperature, including Broome Airport with 76 years of record
• Troughton Island set a new Australian annual mean minimum temperature of 27.0 °C
• Northern WA (north of 26°S) had its second-warmest annual mean maximum temperature on record, and its warmest annual mean minimum temperature on record
• The South West Land Division recorded near average for minimum temperatures, however the monthly mean minimum temperature was consistently below average from May to October in response to persistent southerly winds through this period
