A wet month with record breaking rainfall

Area averaged across the state, and based on records since 1900, Queensland had its wettest September on record. The state wide average rainfall was 75.98 mm (breaking the previous record of 70.58 mm set in 1906), well above the long term average of 12.68 mm.  

Rainfall

A series of surface troughs swept eastwards across the state in September, some combining with upper level troughs to generate cloud and rainbands that extended from the north west to the south east of Queensland during the month.

Heavy rainfalls occurred around the 5th and 6th of September from a thundery rainband which extended from the north west and across central districts on the 5th, and then over the south east of the state by the 6th. This rainband also generated locally moderate to heavy falls in parts of the Central West, Central Highlands, Capricornia, Wide Bay and Burnett and northern Darling Downs districts. 

More heavy rain occurred on the 19th as an upper trough situated over Central Australia moved eastwards and produced a cloud band with rain areas over most of Queensland. In addition, a surface trough over the central interior produced locally heavy rain and storms, in particular over the Central Highlands, Central Coast and Northern Tropical Coast.  

The same upper trough was near stationary and situated over northern South Australia and New South Wales by the 23rd, maintaining cloud and patchy rain areas over Central Queensland from the 23rd to the 26th.  Another surface trough extended across inland Queensland on the 25th and rainfalls were concentrated around a thundery rainband about the state's interior.  Some significant falls also occurred in the humid, unstable air mass to the east of the surface trough.  On the 27th and 28th, scattered showers and thunderstorms occurred over northern and eastern Queensland, more isolated near the east coast, as the inland trough remained near stationary.  By the 29th the surface trough was moving north along the southern Queensland coast and showers and thunderstorms occurred over far northern and eastern Queensland, with locally heavy falls.  On the 30th the trough moved off the east Queensland coast and following the trough, a strengthening ridge extended along the east Queensland coast from a high moving east across southeast Australia with cooler southeasterly winds and isolated showers. 

The highest daily rainfall total was 164.8mm at Mackay Aero on the 20th of  September, followed by 148.6 mm at Innisfail on the 29th, followed by 145.4 mm at Proserpine Airport on the 20th.

Forty-four stations in Queensland with twenty five or more years of record had their highest September daily rainfall on record.

The highest monthly rainfall total was 612.8 mm at Bellenden Ker Top Station, followed by 378.6 mm at Orion, followed by 324.6 mm at Springsure Comet St.

Eighty-seven stations with twenty five or more years of record had their highest total September rainfall on record.

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

Temperature

Area averaged across the state, the mean maximum temperature for September was 28.44 °C, where the long term average is 28.67 °C.  Maximum temperatures were slightly below the long term average due to the persistent cloud bands that developed during the month.  

Also as a result of the cloud bands, the area averaged mean minimum temperature for the state during September was 14.83 °C, well above the long term average of 11.91 °C and the second highest on record, based on figures since 1950 (the highest on record was 15.32 °C in September 1998).  

Maximum temperature

Mean maximum temperatures for September were generally below average south of about 21 °C, by up to 5 °C in the western Channel Country, and above average to the north by between 1 and 3 °C.  Kowanyama Airport and Willis Island both recorded their highest September mean daily maximum temperature on record.

The warmest days on average were 37.0 °C at Kowanyama Airport, followed by 35.9 °C at Normanton Airport, followed by 35.6 °C at Croydon Township.

The hottest day was 40.3 °C at Century Mine on the 13th, followed by 39.3 °C at Century Mine on the 14th, followed by 39.2 °C at Julia Creek Airport on the 13th.

A number of stations in the Channel Country, Central West and Maranoa and Warrego recorded their coldest September day (lowest maximum temperature) on record between the 17th and 19th of the month due to cloud cover and rain areas.  Daytime maxima were generally well below average in southern districts, with many centres between 10 and 16 °C below their September averages. 

The coldest day was 11.3 °C at Roma Airport on the 19th, followed by 11.4 °C at both Injune Post Office and Mitchell Post Office on the 19th, followed by 11.7 °C at Charleville Aero on the 19th.

The coolest days on average were 18.1 °C at Applethorpe, followed by 18.8 °C at Stanthorpe Leslie Parade, followed by 20.2 °C at Toowoomba Airport.

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

Minimum temperature

Mean minimum temperatures for September were above average over the entire state, by up to 6 °C over part of the Northern Goldfields.

Thirty-four stations with twenty or more years of records had their highest September mean daily minimum temperature on record.

The warmest nights on average were 26.0 °C at Horn Island, followed by 25.9 °C at Coconut Island, followed by 24.8 °C at Willis Island.

A number of stations recorded their warmest September night (highest daily minimum temperature) on record.  The warmest night was 27.0 °C at Horn Island on both the 22nd and 27th, followed by 26.9 °C at Horn Island on the 23rd, followed by 26.8 °C at Coconut Island on the 6th, Normanton Airport on the 11th and Horn Island on the 25th.

The coldest night was 0.9 °C at Applethorpe on the 7th, followed by 1.3 °C at Applethorpe on the 18th, followed by 1.4 °C at Stanthorpe Leslie Parade on the 7th.

The coolest nights on average were 8.4 °C at Applethorpe, followed by 8.8 °C at Stanthorpe Leslie Parade, followed by 10.4 °C at Warwick.

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