Rainfall

Rainfall during April 2013 was below to very much below average across large parts of the Southwest Land Division (SWLD), parts of the Gascoyne and in the central and eastern Interior. Above average rainfall was observed in the eastern Pilbara and in parts of the Kimberley, mainly due to heavy rainfall during the first few days of the month, while much of the remainder of the state saw near average rainfall for April 2013.

Averaged across the state as a whole, rainfall during April 2013 was close to average for WA. For the Lower Southwest (southwest of a line from Jurien Bay to Bremer Bay), and the SWLD, rainfall was below average. Comparable records commenced in 1910.

A weak tropical low moved westward to the north of the Kimberley from the 1st to 5th, resulting in showers and thunderstorms with moderate to heavy falls in parts of the Kimberley and east Pilbara. Particularly heavy rainfall totals were observed in the Kimberley in the 24 hours to 9am on the 3rd when a number of sites observed their wettest April day on record. Abney Hill observed the highest total of the month in WA with 127.0 mm, while Kingston Rest recorded 103.0 mm which is its wettest April day in 33 years of record. Wiluna in the far northern Goldfields also observed its wettest April day in 110 years of record with 98.2 mm.

A cloudband associated with ex-tropical cyclone Victoria brought moderate rainfall to southwest parts of the SWLD from the 11th to 13th, with daily totals generally in the 10 mm to 20 mm range. A band of middle level cloud moved across the southern half of WA on the 17th to 19th, bringing rain and isolated thunderstorms with some moderate falls mainly in the 10 mm to 35 mm range. A thunderstorm produced a heavy downpour at Mount William during the evening of the 17th with 16.0 mm recorded in the 10 minute period ending 2125 WST, which is considered an one in ten year event. The passage of a trough and cold fronts brought light to moderate rainfall to mainly southern WA from the 20th to 22nd.

A middle level trough combined with a surface trough in the Pilbara to produce showers and thunderstorms with some heavy falls in the region on the 26th and 27th. The heaviest daily rainfall total was recorded in the 24 hours to 9am on the 27th at Yarrie (Pilbara) with 95.0 mm, which was the third wettest April day on record at the site. In the south, showers with some moderate rainfall were observed in the South Coastal and Eucla as a cold front moved through southern WA.

Maximum Temperature

Maximum temperatures during April 2013 were above to very much above average throughout much of WA, with areas of highest on record observed in western and southeastern parts of the state. A number of sites in the SWLD and Eucla observed their warmest April on record; while most of the southern half of WA was more than 3 °C warmer than normal, grading to up to 6 °C warmer than normal in inland parts. The only areas of the state to observe near average daytime temperatures during April 2013 were in the east Kimberley, east Pilbara and northwestern Northern Interior.

When averaged across the state as a whole, the mean maximum temperature for WA during April 2013 was very much above average and ranked as the 3rd warmest April since comparable records commenced in 1910. Similarly in the Lower Southwest (southwest of a line from Jurien Bay to Bremer Bay) daytime temperatures were very much above average, also ranking as the 3rd warmest April on record.

Warm to hot conditions were observed across much of western and southern WA to begin April 2013 with a trough near the west coast and a strong high in the Bight directing generally northeasterly winds over the area from the 1st to 5th. Conditions were particularly hot in the SWLD on the 3rd to 5th, with temperatures in the mid-to-high thirties. Jarrahwood in the Southwest observed a maximum temperature of 34.7 °C, which is its hottest day in April in 30 years of record. The trough moved eastward on the 5th and 6th, relieving temperatures in the southwest of the state, although maxima remained high over central and southeastern parts. The trough redeveloped near the west coast on the 7th and remained near stationary through to the 10th, with hot conditions returning to the SWLD, apart from the far southwest. A number of sites observed their hottest April day on record during this period with temperatures mainly in the mid-to-high thirties. The west coast trough gradually cleared eastward as a cloudband developed over southwest WA on the 11th, extending over much of the southern half of the state during subsequent days, with the hot conditions contracting to central and southeastern parts of the state. Maximum temperatures remained high in northern parts of the SWLD on the 11th, with Eneabba reaching 40.0 °C which is its new April record and the only 40 °C day of the month in the SWLD. The unseasonably hot start to the month was a major contributor to a number of sites across the SWLD and Eucla observing their warmest April on record.

Minimum Temperature

Minimum temperatures during April 2013 were above to very much above average across southern and western WA with areas of up to 4 °C above normal in mainly inland southern parts. Areas of highest on record were observed through much of the SWLD, and in the southeastern Gascoyne, parts of the Goldfields, western Eucla with numerous sites, some with over 100 years of record, observing their warmest April on record. The record warm April in the SWLD was mainly a result of a very warm start to the month, combined with cloudy conditions through the middle of April and a general lack of frontal activity. Below average overnight temperatures were observed mainly in the north Kimberley, with an area of up to 2 °C below normal in the far northeast of the district, while the remainder of the state was near average.

When averaged across WA as a whole, the mean minimum temperature during April 2013 was very much above average, ranking as the 5th warmest on record, whilst the Lower Southwest (southwest of a line from Jurien Bay to Bremer Bay) ranked as the warmest April on record. Comparable temperature records commenced in 1910.

After hot day in the SWLD on the 10th, temperatures remained high overnight with daily minima in low twenties. Eneabba observed the highest minimum temperature in the SWLD with 23.6 °C on the 11th, which was the third hottest night in April on record at the site, while Badgingarra observed their warmest April night on record with 22.9 °C.
