Friday, 1 June 2007 - Seasonal Climate Summary for Queensland - Product code IDCKGC24R0
Queensland
has recorded its warmest autumn on record with many places setting new
temperature records.
Jump to: Extremes Records Summaries Notes the top
Autumn rainfall totals were below average over Central and Southeast Queensland, the Central West and the Maranoa and Warrego. Rainfall associated with a frontal system that brought significant rainfall to New South Wales and Victoria during May led to above average totals in parts of the Channel Country near the southern border. Elsewhere totals were mixed, with rainfall near average over much of the west and north, apart from a few pockets of both above and below average totals.
A number of places in Central and Southeast Queensland recorded their lowest autumn rainfall on record, including Alderley with 73 mm (average 311 mm, 105 years of record), Collinsville with 15 mm (average 170 mm, 68 years of record) and Gladstone with 37.2 mm (average 191 mm, 49 years of record). Refer below to sites with the lowest total autumn rainfall on record.
Brisbane recorded a total of 62.8 mm, little more than a fifth of the long-term average of 305 mm for autumn.Both
daytime maximum
and overnight minimum temperatures were above average across the state
during
autumn, with the exception being some small areas with slighter cooler
than
average temperatures near the Gulf and on Cape York
Peninsula.
See a map of mean
maximum temperatures and of maximum
temperature anomalies. See a map of mean
minimum temperatures and of minimum
temperature anomalies.
Taking
the state as a
whole, and based on figures since 1950, Queensland had its warmest
autumn on
record. The average day-time maximum temperature across the state was
2.1
degrees warmer than the long-term average and the highest on record,
while the
minimum temperatures were 1.3 degrees warmer and the 4th
warmest on
record.
The extreme temperatures led to new records in many places in both hottest daily temperatures and overall monthly means. Refer below for a full list of new autumn temperature records.
Some of the places which recorded new monthly mean maximum temperatures for autumn include Georgetown with 34.6°C (average 32°C, previous record 34.3°C, 113 years of record), Mitchell with 30.7°C (average 27.1°C, previous record 29.7°C, 86 years of record) and Charleville with 30.6°C (average 27.7°C, previous record 29.9°C, 65 years of record).
Brisbane’s average maximum temperature was about 2.5 degrees warmer than average for autumn while the minimum was about 1.5 degrees warmer. For more details see the summary table below.| Hottest day Highest temperature |

Jump to: Extremes Records Summaries Notes the top
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 11 am on Friday 1 June 2007. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
Normals 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. *In this case, normals from a nearby suitable site may be included to calculate statistics (these are marked with an *).
The median is sometimes more representative than the mean of "normal" 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,
normal in decile 4 to 7, high in
decile 8 or 9 and very high is in decile 10).
The Fraction of normal shows how much rain has
fallen this time as a
percentage
of the long-term mean.
