Very wet over central parts of the state

- Many sites in these areas had their highest total August rainfall on record or their highest total August rainfall for at least 20 years.
- A bulk of this monthly rainfall occurred in the 24 hours to 9am on the 5th August, when a vigorous cold front with embedded thunderstorms crossed the state.
- A number of sites had their highest August daily rainfall on record during this event.
- Rainfall was generally close to average in the south-west, parts of the south, and along the coast, extending into the North-West Slopes and Plains, with small areas of the north coast recording below average rainfall.
- For New South Wales as a whole, August rainfall was 44% above the 1961–1990 monthly average, the highest August rainfall since 2016.
Very warm nights
- For the state as a whole, the August mean maximum temperature was 0.52 °C above the 1961–1990 average with most parts of the state being within 1 °C of their monthly averages.
- Moruya Airport AWS had its coldest August day (lowest maximum temperature) on record.
- For the state as a whole, the August mean minimum temperature was 1.41 °C above the 1961–1990 average, the 5th highest on record (since records began in 1910) and the highest since 2007.
- Most of the state away from the north-east and the west observed very much above average minimum temperatures (in the highest 10% of historical records).
- A few sites had their warmest August night (highest daily minimum temperature) on record, early in the month in association with heavy rainfall.
- A number of sites had their highest August mean daily minimum temperature on record or their highest August mean daily minimum temperature for at least 20 years.
- A few sites had their highest August mean temperature on record.
Weather events during August
- Heavy rain on and inland of the ranges in New South Wales resulted in Minor to Major flood warnings at several locations, particularly along the western slopes.
- Over the night of the 23rd, several centimetres of snow settled across the Blue Mountains and around Orange, closing roads and delaying trains with ice on the tracks, the first snowfalls in the Blue Mountains this winter.

Notes
The Monthly climate summary, generally published on the first working day of each month, lists the main features of the weather in New South Wales using the most timely and accurate information available on the date of publication; it will generally not be updated. More extensive discussion of significant weather events, along with later information and data that has had greater opportunity for quality control, will be presented in the Monthly Weather Review.
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 12 pm on Friday 2 September 2022. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
In some situations, some or all of the rainfall is in the form of hail or snow. In these cases the totals given are for the water equivalent: the depth of liquid water that results from melting any frozen precipitation. There can be significant 'undercatch' of snow in strong winds, meaning the true precipitation can be higher than that reported.
Averages for individual sites are long-term means based on observations from
all available years of record, which vary widely from site to site.
They are not shown for sites with less than 10 years of record, as they cannot then be calculated reliably.
The median
is sometimes more representative than the
mean
of long-term average rain.
The Rank indicates how rainfall this time compares with the climate record for the site,
based on the
decile ranking
(very low rainfall is in decile 1, low in decile 2 or 3,
average in decile 4 to 7, high in decile 8 or 9
and very high is in decile 10).
The Fraction of average shows how much rain has fallen this time as a
percentage of the long-term mean.
Where temperature area averages are mentioned, they are derived from the ACORN-SAT dataset.
