Sydney in June 2014: Mild temperatures begin

Rainfall was generally below average across Sydney during June, with Sydney Observatory Hill recording half its average rainfall. The rain fell over 11 days (the June average is 12 days), with cloudy conditions during the first half of the month followed by a clear end to June. Totals exceeded 10 mm at Observatory Hill on three days (normal for June) but none exceeded 20 mm (the first such June since 2002). The heaviest rain was recorded in southern Sydney on the 6th, reaching 46 mm at Marrickville.

The average maximum temperature as Sydney Observatory Hill was 19.6 °C, 2.7 °C above the historical average, with above-average daytime temperatures recorded across the city. This was the equal-fourth-warmest June on record for Sydney, with thirteen days reaching at least 20 °C (the average is 3 days) and no days below 15 °C (average 6 days). Nights were also warmer than average across the city, with only six nights dropping to 10 °C or lower (average 19 nights), the equal-second-fewest on record for June. The mean temperature was consequently 2.2 °C above average, the third-warmest on record and the warmest since 1991.

  • Third-warmest June on record
  • Equal-second-fewest cold nights (10 °C or lower) on record for June
  • Below average rainfall, driest June since 2004

Most values are the precipitation in the 24 hours to 9 am on the day indicated. Days marked with »» are part of a longer accumulation, which is marked like this on the final day. Values over 100 mm have been rounded to the nearest whole millimetre. Days marked with - have a rainfall report of zero; days left blank have no rainfall report (which often indicates no rain fell).
This table is very wide; you may have to scroll sideways to see all the days, and you may need to set the paper to 'landscape' to print.

Notes

A Monthly Climate Summary is prepared to list the main features of the weather in Sydney using the most timely and accurate information available on the date of publication; it will generally not be updated. Later information, including data that has had greater opportunity for quality control, will be presented in the Monthly Weather Review, usually published in the fourth week of the month.

A Climate Summary is generally published on the first working day of each month.

This statement has been prepared based on information available at 10 am on Tuesday 1 July 2014. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.

Averages 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 20 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.
