Queensland in November 2022: Near average rainfall; cooler days and nights in the south, warmer in the north.

Rainfall for November was above average across western, central and northern parts of the state but below average across the southeast quadrant. Daytime temperatures were warmer than average across coastal areas of Cape York Peninsula but cooler than average across most other parts of the state, with large areas across the western and southern interior in the lowest 10% of historical records since 1910. Night-time temperatures were warmer than average for most of the tropical north, while large areas across southern Queensland experienced cooler than average nights. Some areas in the broader southeast reported night-time temperatures in the lowest 10% of historical records for November compared with all other Novembers since 1910.

Above average in the west and north, below average in the southeast

• Rainfall for Queensland was 35% above the 1961-1990 average for the state as a whole. Rainfall was average, to above average across western, central and northern parts of the state but tending to below average across the southeast.
• Heavy rainfall on the north coast early in the month resulted in Whyanbeel Valley having its wettest November on record, and at the end of the month some locations in the central west and southeast reported their highest November daily rainfall on record.
• Julia Creek Airport and Cloncurry Airport both had their highest total November rainfall on record and several other sites had their highest total November rainfall for at least 20 years.

• Daytime temperatures were more than 2 °C above average across the east and tropical north on the 20th, and resulted in some locations having their highest November temperature on record.
• There were numerous cold days for large parts of Queensland throughout the month and some locations had their coldest November day (lowest maximum temperature) on record.
• With the warmer days in the tropical north, Coconut Island had its highest November mean daily maximum temperature on record.
• The mean minimum temperature for Queensland was close the median at 0.01 °C below average; the lowest for November since 2010.

• With much of the north having mean daily minimum temperatures in decile 10 (top 10% of historical records) several locations reported their highest November mean daily minimum temperature on record.
• The cooler than average nights in the south of the state resulted in many sites reporting their lowest November mean daily minimum temperature on record or their lowest November mean daily minimum temperature for at least 20 years.
• Warmer than average days and nights across northern parts of the state saw several locations report their highest November mean temperature on record or their highest November mean temperature for at least 20 years.

Notes

The Monthly climate summary, usually published in the first week of the following month, lists the main features of the weather in Queensland 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 statement has been prepared based on information available at 1 pm on Friday 2 December 2022. 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.

Information about Australian Indigenous seasonal calendars is available at the Indigenous Weather Knowledge website.
