Drivers
The powerful La Niña event of the past year or so has finally ended, and sea surface temperatures across the tropical Pacific Ocean have largely returned to normal (bringing an exceptionally wet period to a conclusion). The Southern Oscillation Index, which had been strongly positive during the La Niña event, is now also close to normal (zero). However, sea surface temperatures across waters to the south of the continent are mostly slightly above normal.
The pressure patterns during June were driven by a combination of strong high pressure systems over west Indian Ocean high latitudes and a trough of low pressure over Australian longitudes. This resulted in a series of fast moving frontal systems amplifying as they approached Western Australia, and then weakening before passing across southeastern Australia - hence, these were mostly not accompanied by very much rain falling in Victoria (but several of them retained sufficient strength to be associated with strong northerly winds ahead of their passage).

Notes
A Monthly Climate Summary is prepared to list the main features of the weather in Victoria 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.
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 10 am on Friday 1 July 2011. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
Averages 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.
