Greater Brisbane in November 2021: a very wet month; cooler than usual days overall

Rainfall across Greater Brisbane was well above average, and widespread falls monthly totals of 150 mm to 250 mm. Mean maximum temperatures generally cooler than usual, and mean minimum temperatures were generally warmer than usual.

Very wet month and end to spring

  • It was a wet month across Greater Brisbane, with monthly rainfall totals of 150 mm to 250 mm at most sites, more than twice the monthly average for many sites.
  • Persistent surface troughs, low pressure systems, and moist onshore flow resulted in a very wet month.
  • A trough situated along the south-east coast on the 23rd saw widespread moderate to locally heavy falls across Greater Brisbane, with Brisbane and Rocky Point Sugar Mill reporting over 120 mm in the 24 hours to 9am on the 24th. Both sites had their highest November daily rainfall on record.
  • A cold front, low pressure system and surface troughs over eastern Queensland brought widespread moderate to heavy falls on the 27th, and Maroon Dam reported more than 100 mm in one day.
  • Brisbane Aero and Stanmore Woodford had their highest total November rainfall on record, and Beerburrum and Peachester had their highest total November rainfall in more than 25 years.

Cooler days, warmer than usual nights

  • Mean maximum temperatures were generally cooler than usual, and more than a degree cooler than usual at some sites, including Brisbane.
  • Daytime temperatures were persistently cooler than usual for much of November, though some warmer days were experienced in the middle of the month due to clear skies.

  • Mean minimum temperatures were generally warmer than usual, and a degree warmer than usual at a few sites.
  • Night-time temperatures were generally warmer than usual between the 8th and 12th, and then the 21st to 30th, due to thick cloud cover and times of rain. The warmest night was 23.5 °C at Logan City Water Treatment Plant on the 11th.

Most values are the precipitation in the 24 hours to 9 am on the day indicated. Days marked with ? are part of a longer accumulation, which is shown on the final day.
Values over 100 mm have been rounded to the nearest whole millimetre.
Days marked with - have a rainfall report of zero; days left blank have no rainfall report (which often indicates no rain fell).

Notes

The Monthly climate summary, generally published on the first working day of each month, lists the main features of the weather in Greater Brisbane using the most timely and accurate information available on the date of publication; it will generally not be updated. More extensive discussion of significant weather events, along with later information and data that has had greater opportunity for quality control, will be presented in the Monthly Weather Review.

This summary includes data from observing sites in or near the Greater Brisbane “Greater Capital City Statistical Area” (GCCSA). The Australian Bureau of Statistics designed the GCCSAs to “include the population within the urban area of the city, as well as people who regularly socialise, shop or work within the city, and live in small towns and rural areas surrounding the city. It is important to note that GCCSAs do not define the built up edge of the city. They provide a stable definition for these cities and are designed for the output of a range of social and economic survey data.

This statement has been prepared based on information available at 12 pm on Wednesday 1 December 2021. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.

In some situations, some or all of the rainfall is in the form of hail or snow. In these cases the totals given are for the water equivalent: the depth of liquid water that results from melting any frozen precipitation. There can be significant 'undercatch' of snow in strong winds, meaning the true precipitation can be higher than that reported.

Averages for individual sites 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.
The median is sometimes more representative than the mean of long-term average 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, average in decile 4 to 7, high in decile 8 or 9 and very high is in decile 10).
The Fraction of average shows how much rain has fallen this time as a percentage of the long-term mean.

Where temperature area averages are mentioned, they are derived from the ACORN-SAT dataset.
