Details

A dry month compared to the long term average, and in contrast to the significant rain that fell over the north of the state in February.
Maximum temperatures over the southwest were mainly 2 to 3 degrees above average, while minimum temperatures were below average over the north east of the state.

Rainfall

Area averaged across the state, Queensland received 27.87 mm compared to the long term March average of 93.73 mm, and based on figures since 1900. This ranks March 2009 as the 6th lowest since 1900, and is the lowest March rainfall since 1991 (area average for March 1991 was 17.82 mm).

Rainfall was remarkably different to that of February, and much of the state was below to very much below average, despite the presence of two Tropical Cyclones located off the east coast during March. 

On the 4th, a tropical low formed in the Coral Sea east of Lockhart River, which drifted to the southwest and intensified into a tropical cyclone. The tropical cyclone was named "Hamish" at about 10pm on the 5th of March and tracked almost parallel to the coast from the 5th to the 9th of March, but never crossed land. It reached category 5 on the 7th of March and produced damaging winds, large waves and elevated sea levels. There were some high daily rainfall totals during its track, mainly at coastal locations. The highest daily total was recorded at Mackay with 196.2 mm to 9am on the 8th, where around 150 mm fell between 9am and 3pm on the 7th.

Early on the 24th of March, Tropical Cyclone "Jasper" was located around 1010km northeast of Mackay, and was travelling in an east southeast direction, and posed no immediate threat to Queensland. Tropical Cyclone "Jasper" weakened to a low pressure system by the 26th and was located near New Caledonia.

For March, the wettest overall was 637 mm at Bellenden Ker Top Station, then 447 mm at Nerada Alert, then 442 mm at Central Mill Alert, followed by 438.8 mm at Innisfail. The highest daily totals were 196.2 mm at Mackay on the 8th, then 181.8 mm at Innisfail on the 12th, followed by 166.0 mm at Nerada Alert on the 7th. 
These stations are located in the north tropical and central coast districts and the highest daily totals occurred as Tropical Cyclone "Hamish" tracked south east, with the exception of Innisfail, which was caused by slow moving showers that yielded locally heavy falls.

Although the north tropical areas recorded some significantly high daily totals, overall, rainfall across Queensland was below the long term average, very much below average over the north west, parts of the central and also southern interior, and some sites had their lowest total March rainfall on record. Some sites also had their lowest total March rainfall for at least 20 years.

See a map of total rainfall. See a map of rainfall deciles.

Temperature

For the month, mean maximum temperatures were higher than average over the south west, while the remainder of the state fell within a degree of the long term average.
Mean minimum temperatures were above average over the southwest, but much cooler than average over the central districts and in the northwest.

Maximum temperature

March began with the southern districts experiencing temperatures that were 6 to 10°C above average. Warm north west winds were directed across the area for the following few days, keeping temperatures over the Channel Country, Maranoa and Warrego above 40°C. Some record high daily maximum temperatures occurred at Charleville and Mitchell. Some sites had their highest March temperature on record.  

Area averaged across the state the maximum temperature was 33.63°C compared to the long term average of  32.42°C (+1.21°C above). Some sites had their highest March mean daily maximum temperature on record.

The hottest day was 44.8°C at Birdsville Airport, followed by 44.6°C at Ballera Gas Field, both on the 3rd, followed by 44.0°C at Birdsville Airport on the 2nd.

The warmest days on average were 37.6°C at Birdsville Airport, then 37.5°C at Boulia Airport, followed by 37.1°C at Century Mine.

The coolest days on average were 24.7°C at Applethorpe, followed by 25.1°C at Maleny Tamarind St, followed by 25.2°C at Stanthorpe Leslie Parade.

The coldest day was 19.8°C at Stanthorpe Leslie Parade then 20.0°C at Applethorpe, both on the 12th, followed by 20.0°C at Applethorpe on the 30th.

See a map of mean maximum temperatures. See a map of maximum temperature anomalies.

Minimum temperature

Minimum temperatures were also significantly high at the start of the month, with Charleville also recording the highest daily minimum temperature on the 4th with 30.4°C which is 11.7°C above the long term March average. Some sites had their warmest March night (highest daily minimum temperature) on record.

However, area averaged across the state the minimum temperature was 20.19°C compared to a long term average of 20.65°C (−0.46°C below). Some sites had their lowest March temperature on record. While some sites had their lowest March mean daily minimum temperature for at least 20 years.

The coolest nights on average were 13.1°C at Applethorpe,then 13.3°C at Stanthorpe Leslie Parade, followed by 14.9°C at Warwick.

The warmest nights on average were 25.7°C at Sweers Island, followed by 25.6°C at Willis Island, followed by 25.5°C at Green Island.

The warmest night was 31.2°C at Birdsville Airport on the 2nd, then 30.7°C at Birdsville Airport on the 3rd, followed by 30.4°C at Charleville Aero on the 4th.

See a map of mean minimum temperatures. See a map of minimum temperature anomalies.

Wind

Tropical Cyclone "Hamish" tracked close to several Automatic Weather Stations in the Coral Sea, and Gannet Cay recorded a wind gust of 190km/hr prior to the anemometer failing on the morning of the 9th March. 

Other strong wind gusts were recorded at Middle Percy Island with 113km/hr on the 8th, then Double Island Point Lighthouse with 106km/hr of the 10th, and also Heron Island with 104km/hr on the 9th.

Tropical Cyclones

Tropical Cyclone "Hamish" tracked along the east coast of Queensland during March.  A more detailed report including a track map of "Hamish" and estimated extremes can be found here. 

Tropical Cyclone "Jasper" was located about 1010km northeast of Mackay on the 24th March, but posed no immediate threat to Queenlsand. Itweakened to a low pressure system by the 26th.
