New South Wales in March 2019: near-average rainfall and very warm

Rainfall in March was close to average across much of the State. Large areas in the southeast quarter reported above average falls. Both daytime and night-time temperatures were warmer than average. March 2019 ranked as New South Wales' sixth-warmest March on record.

Close to average rainfall across much of the State

• March rainfall was close to average for the State as a whole at 4% below the long-term average, although for many areas in the east it was a wet March
• Thunderstorms between the 15th and 18th, brought heavy rain to the Sydney Metropolitan area
• A vigorous cold front tracked across the State in the last few days of the month and delivered heavy falls with many sites recording more than 100 mm in 24 hours to 9am on the 30th; some sites had their highest March daily rainfall on record
• The highest monthly totals were recorded along the east coast as a result of onshore flows, low pressure troughs and cold fronts
• A few sites had their highest total March rainfall for many decades

Sixth-warmest March on record

• New South Wales' mean temperature was 1.89 °C above average and the sixth-warmest on record
• The mean maximum temperature for the State was 1.87 °C warmer than average, the coolest since 2015
• The mean minimum temperature for New South Wales was 1.91 °C warmer than average and the fourth-warmest on record
• A warm first week of the month saw temperatures across southern parts of the State reach up to 10 degrees warmer than average; some sites had their highest March temperature on record on the 4th or 12th
• Some sites across the Mid North Coast, Northern Rivers and Tablelands and Hunter districts had their highest March mean daily maximum temperature on record or their highest since 1998
• Thick pre-frontal cloud created warm nights between the 24th and 26th for locations in the northeast and southeast coastal regions and some reported their warmest March night (highest daily minimum temperature) on record
• The passage of a strong cold front in the last few days of the month saw temperatures 6 to 10 degrees below average for much of the State, gave numerous sites their coldest March day on record on the 30th, and gave some sites their coldest March night on record in the 24 hours to 9am on the 31st
• Numerous sites had their highest March mean daily minimum temperature on record or their highest in several decades
• Mungindi Post Office had a run of seven consecutive days of 38 °C or above from 6 to 12 March, exceeding its previous highest count for March of five days in 1980
• Many locations across the State had their highest March mean temperature on record or their highest since 1998

Thunderstorms and snow

• Around the 16th, a low pressure system developed off the northern coast and moved south generating heavy falls across the Sydney Metropolitan, Illawarra and South Coast regions on the 18th causing localised flash flooding and power outages
• The passage of a cold front generated wild weather towards the end of the month; damaging winds, hail and heavy rain were reported between the 29th and 30th across southern regions of the State
• A cold air mass in the wake of the cold front produced a light dusting of snow on the Snowy Mountains on the 31th
