Rainfall - Driest summer since 1984-5
NSW recorded a statewide average rainfall of 91.1 mm during summer 2013-14, well below the historical average of 170 mm. This is the driest summer for NSW since 75.1 mm was recorded in summer 1984-5, and the tenth-driest summer on record.
Most of the state recorded below average rainfall, with driest conditions in the northeast where several stations recorded their driest summer on record, including Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour and Gunnedah. The Murray Darling Basin also recorded its driest summer since 1984-5 with 92.4 mm (average 144.6 mm). The dry conditions were associated with the persistence of high pressure across the state and a lack of significant rain events. Both December and January had well below average rainfall, particularly in the northeast, with some relief of dry conditions associated with rain events in the second half of February.
The passage of surface troughs across the state produced moderate rain on 5-6 and 26 December as well as 24-25 January, while thunderstorms produced locally heavy falls over the Northern and Central Tablelands on 17 December and inland NSW on 9-10 January. Heavier falls occurred during the passage of surface troughs and storms during 15-17 and 19-20 February, with localised falls above 200 mm and flash flooding on the Central Coast on 28 February.

Temperature - Fifth-warmest days on record
The statewide average maximum temperature for NSW during summer was 2.0 °C above the historical average, the fifth-warmest summer on record. Daytime temperatures were well above average during all three months of summer, with most of the state recording temperatures between 1 and 3 °C above normal but closer to average temperatures along the coast.
The warm days were associated with persistently dry, clear conditions and several significant heat events. Notably, numerous high temperature records were broken in northern NSW on 1-3 January, while southern NSW experienced several extended warm spells during 14-18 January, 28 January - 3 February, and 8-12 February. There were also several cold spells during the season, including record cold temperatures in parts of central NSW between 5-7 December.
The mean minimum temperature during summer 2013-14 was 1 °C above the historical average, with temperatures generally above average across the state, associated with generally warm local sea surface temperatures despite the dry, clear conditions. The mean temperature was consequently 1.5 °C above the historical average and the eighth-warmest summer on record, slightly cooler than the summer of 2012-13 (+1.6 °C).

There were several periods of bushfire activity during the summer, including widespread fires during 17-19 January, with five houses destroyed in a fire near Wagga Wagga.

Notes
A Seasonal Climate Summary is prepared to list the main features of the weather in New South Wales 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 9 am on Monday 3 March 2014. 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 20 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 being used for temperature area averages from December 2012 onwards. The major change from earlier datasets is that the ACORN-SAT dataset commences in 1910, rather than 1950, and hence rankings are calculated using a larger set of years.
