Adelaide in February 2015: Dry and warm
Despite a generally cool start to the month, temperatures throughout much of February were above average for the Adelaide region. In particular daytime temperatures were 2 to 3 °C warmer than average. Adelaide experienced 10 days with a maximum temperature exceeding 35 °C; typically the city can expect around 5 days of 35 °C during February. The hot days resulted in Adelaide having its warmest February since 2007.
Night time temperatures tended to be cooler than average at the beginning of the month, becoming warmer during the second week and remaining near average throughout the rest of the month.
Strong and persistent high pressure systems across the Great Australian Bight, combined with little tropical activity, resulted in a very dry month in the Adelaide region. The Kent Town site registered no rain until the last day of the month, extending the dry spell that started on 21 January. This was the longest dry run since early 2007, but well short of the 69 days without rain at West Terrace in early 1893. Kent Town's 0.6 mm total was the driest February since 2007. Adelaide Airport reported zero rainfall and most other locations across the metropolitan and hills area struggled to record more than 2 mm for the month.
- With 0.6 mm of rainfall, it was the driest month for Adelaide since February 2007
- 10 days with maximum temperatures greater than 35 °C
- Overall temperatures were 2 to 3 °C above average

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
A Monthly Climate Summary is prepared to list the main features of the weather in Adelaide using the most timely and accurate information available on the date of publication; it will generally not be updated. Later information, including data that has had greater opportunity for quality control, will be presented in the Monthly Weather Review, usually published in the fourth week of the month.
A Climate Summary is generally published on the first working day of each month.
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 8 am on Monday 2 March 2015. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
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.
The ACORN-SAT dataset is used for temperature area averages.
