Northern Territory in April 2008

Summary

The monsoon trough had retreated northward from Northern Territory shores prior to the start of April, and did not return southward. As a consequence, southeast to northeast winds prevailed during the month across most of the Territory. Drier than normal conditions were generally experienced, leading to cooler nights in the north, and a perpetuation of the ongoing rainfall deficiencies in the south, particularly about the Barkly and Alice Springs districts.

In Darwin, the average minimum temperature of 22.6 °C represented the coldest April-average minimum temperature since 1965, and the equal second coldest on record. The 10.2mm of rain that fell this month represented the driest April since 1997, and the 6th driest April on record.

Rainfall

Drier than normal conditions were experienced across most of the Northern Territory this month, though parts of the northeast Top End received regular showers. The majority of stations in the Barkly and Alice Springs districts recorded no rainfall at all, following on from the general failure of the summer rainfall regime of this region. As a consequence, large areas of these districts are experiencing severe rainfall deficiencies when looked over a 7-month period.

The wettest overall was 157.0 mm at Yirrkala Tropical Gardens.

The wettest single day 89.4 mm at Point Fawcett on the 5th.

Some sites had their lowest total April rainfall on record.

Maximum temperature

Maximum temperatures were mostly close to average over the Territory this April.

The hottest day was 38.5 °C at Elliott on the 2nd.

The warmest days on average were 36.1 °C at Bradshaw AWS.

The coolest days on average were 27.8 °C at Kulgera.

The coldest day was 22.0 °C at Kulgera on the 27th.

Minimum temperature

April was mostly dry and cloud free over much of the Territory, and cooler than average overnight minimum temperatures were experienced. Many recording sites recorded their coldest April-average minimum temperatures on record.

The coldest night was 6.3 °C at Watarrka on the 27th.

The coolest nights on average were 11.3 °C at Alice Springs Airport and Arltunga.

The warmest nights on average were 24.7 °C at Warruwi AWS.

The warmest night was 27.0 °C at Cape Don AWS on the 2nd.

Some sites had their lowest April temperature on record.

Some sites had their lowest April mean daily minimum temperature on record.
