New South Wales in January 2019: warmest month on record

January was the warmest month on record for New South Wales as a whole. The mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures were all the highest on record and exceeded previous respective records by a significant margin. Statewide, rainfall during the month was below average and particularly dry in the northeast and southern inland regions.

Warmest January on record

• Statewide, the mean, maximum and minimum temperature for January were all the highest on record, with the largest positive anomalies reported for any State (or Territory) for any month
• The record warmth was associated with heatwaves that affected large areas of the country; further information on these heatwaves can be found in the Special Climate Statement Widespread heatwaves during December 2018 and January 2019
• The mean temperature for the State as a whole was 5.86 °C above average, exceeding the previous January record of +3.79 °C from 1939
• Around 90% of the State experienced their warmest January on record (in terms of mean temperatures) except for some large areas in the southwest and the far northeast that reported very much above average (in the warmest 10% of historical observations)
• The State's mean maximum temperature was 6.15 °C above average (previous record was +4.11 °C in 1939)
• Overnight temperatures were 5.56 °C above average (previous record was +3.83 °C in 2006)
• Many locations across the State reported their highest January mean temperature, highest January mean daily maximum temperature and highest January mean daily minimum temperature on record
• The January mean daily maximum temperature of 43.5 °C at Wanaaring Post Office is the hottest ever recorded in New South Wales with standard equipment
• There were some very warm days and nights across the State throughout the month; numerous locations west of the Great Dividing Range reported their highest January temperature on record and their warmest January night (highest daily minimum temperature) on record
• Temperatures in the 24 hours to 9am on the 26th at Wanaaring (Borrona Downs) did not drop below 36.6 °C, making it the highest minimum temperature ever recorded in Australia. The previous national record of 35.5 °C was also exceeded on the 18th at Noona and Wanaaring (Borrona Downs) (for more details see the daily extremes table)
• NSW had 5 consecutive days with the Statewide averaged daily maximum temperature was 40 °C or higher from the 14 to 18 January; second only to 1939 when there were 8 consecutive days
• Numerous sites in western regions observed a record number of consecutive hot days. Bourke Airport experienced 21 consecutive days of 40 °C or above from the 9th to 29th; a new State record, exceeding 17 consecutive days at Bourke Post Office from in January 1939

Dry month overall

• Rainfall was 58% below the long-term average overall. It was particularly dry in the northeast of the State, with large parts of the Northern Rivers recording their lowest rainfall on record
• Numerous sites in the Northern Rivers, Northern Tablelands, North West Slopes and Plains, Mid North Coast districts had their lowest total January rainfall on record
• Some sites in the north and inland south observed their lowest total January rainfall for at least 20 years
• Persistent showers and thunderstorms produced moderate falls across the Central Tablelands and northern regions of the South West Slopes districts; some locations reported their highest total January rainfall on record or for at least 20 years
• It was a wet day on the 12th, across the Central Tablelands, when Little Hartley (Roscommon) observed its highest January daily rainfall on record

Severe thunderstorms and dust

• Severe thunderstorms produced wind gusts of 109 km/h at Temora Airport in the southern Central West Slopes and Plains district on the 7th
• On the 8th, a severe dust storm blanketed large areas of the Riverina district in southern New South Wales as a broad low pressure trough moved across western regions
• A surface trough tracking across the State in the last few days of the month generated a wind gust of 115 km/h at Thredbo on the 31st
