The large area covering north east Queensland, roughly from
about Burketown to the western Darling Downs received at least above
average rainfall for the month. Further east of this area received very much above average
rainfall. Parts of the Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders,
along with many places in the Herbert and Burdekin broke long term
monthly rainfall records. Here is a list of some sites that had their highest total July rainfall on record.
The wettest overall was Bellenden Ker Top Station in the north tropical coast with 453 mm.
Maximum Temperatures:
Mean maximum temperatures were generally within 1 - 2°C of the
long term average across the state. Combined with some decent rainfall
across the northern districts, the resulting mean maximum temperatures
over the area were slightly below the long term average as was the
coastal area
spanning from about St Lawrence to west of Texas on the southern
border. Some sites had their coldest July day (lowest maximum temperature) on record. The remainder of the state was slightly above average.

Jump to: Extremes Records Summaries Notes the top
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 10 am on Friday 1 August 2008. 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 *).
Some sites have relocated, and the record is from a nearby site that is no longer open (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.
