Friday, 1 June 2007 - Monthly Climate Summary for Queensland - Product code IDCKGC14R0
Temperatures across the state, except for Cape York Peninsula, where above average
for the month and Queensland recorded its warmest May on
record.
Jump to: Extremes Records Summaries Notes the top
May rainfall totals were mixed across the state with much of the Central Interior and Southeast recording below average totals. Rainfall associated with a frontal system that brought significant rainfall to New South Wales and Victoria led to above average totals in parts of the Channel Country, mainly near the southern border. Localised rainfall brought above average totals to many parts of the Northern Tropics, though some areas missed out and remained below average for the month. Refer to the map of total rainfall and rainfall deciles.
Elsewhere totals were generally close to average. Coolmunda Dam on the Darling Downs recorded its lowest May rainfall total of 7.6 mm in 31 years of record (average 51 mm). A list of rainfall records appears below.
Brisbane
recorded a
total of 39 mm, little more than half the long-term average of 53 mm,
though
rainfall was very localised with bayside suburbs faring better and
western
suburbs receiving lower totals.
Both daytime maximum and overnight minimum temperatures were above average across the state, with the exception being some small areas with slighter cooler than average maximum temperatures on Cape York Peninsula.
Taking the state as a whole, and based on figures since 1950, Queensland recorded its warmest May on record. The average day-time maximum temperature across the state was 2.8 degrees warmer than average for the month and the highest on record, while the minimum temperatures were 2.5 degrees warmer and 2nd warmest on record.
Refer to a map of mean maximum temperatures and a map of maximum temperature anomalies. Also a map of mean minimum temperatures and a map of minimum temperature anomalies.New

Jump to: Extremes Records Summaries Notes the top
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 11 am on Friday 1 June 2007. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
Normals 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. *In this case, normals from a nearby suitable site may be included to calculate statistics (these are marked with an *).
The median is sometimes more representative than the mean of "normal" 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,
normal in decile 4 to 7, high in
decile 8 or 9 and very high is in decile 10).
The Fraction of normal shows how much rain has
fallen this time as a
percentage
of the long-term mean.
