Rainfall

Averaged across the state the spring rainfall was 46.08 mm based on the area averaged data since 1900, this being rather dry with a ranking 21 of 110 and the lowest since 2006.

Rainfall has been below average over most of the state with large parts of the southeast, northwestern and far northern districts receiving less than 10 percent of their long term average spring rainfall.  A severe 3-month rainfall deficiency exists through the northern Moreton and Port Curtis districts, part of the Central Highlands, in the far northwest corner of the state and over parts of Cape York Peninsula.  A serious deficiency extends to the 12 month period in parts of the Port Curtis and Central Highlands districts. 

Rainfall was close to average through the Central Lowlands and extending south through part of the Far South West and Warrego districts, and along the northeast tropical coast between Townsville and Cooktown.  Bellenden Ker Top Station recorded 1521.6 mm, its highest spring rainfall since 1998.

An upper low pressure system brought widespread cloud and above average rainfall to southwest Queensland late in November and provided a respite from a long run of above average temperatures.

The largest spring rainfall total recorded in Queensland was 1521.6 mm at Bellenden Ker Top Station (1303 mm in November), followed by 935 mm at Bellenden Ker Bottom Station (746.6 mm in November), followed by 657.1 mm at Babinda Post Office, 610.0 mm at Mt Sophia and 564.0 mm at Corsis Alert.

The driest overall was 0.2 mm at Coen Airport, followed by 2.0 mm at Georgetown Airport.

Some sites had their lowest total spring rainfall on record.  Some sites had their lowest total spring rainfall for at least 20 years.

The wettest single day occurred on the 31st of October, when Edward River recorded 206.5 mm of rainfall, followed by 196 mm at Bellenden Ker Bottom Station, 180.0 mm at Mt Sophia and 164.0 mm at Babinda Post Office, all on the 12th of November.

Some sites had their highest spring daily rainfall on record.  See a map of total rainfall.  See a map of rainfall deciles.

Temperature

Averaged across the state the mean spring temperature was 25.05 °C, which is 0.75 °C warmer than the long term average.  Northern Queensland was within a degree of average but the south was warmer with the southern fringe of western areas nudging 2 °C hotter than average.

Maximum temperature

Spring mean maximum temperatures were warmer than average across the state, with the higher anomalies of 2 to 3 °C across southern and part of the central districts.  Part of the Darling Downs was more than 3 °C above average. 

Based on area averaged data since 1950, the spring mean maximum temperature was 25.05 °C, which is 0.75 °C higher than average and the hottest since 2005.  The region from St Lawrence to Bundaberg and extending inland to the Rolleston area had its highest spring mean maximum temperature on record and the remainder of central and southern Queensland experienced temperatures that were amongst the warmest 10 % on record.  Many eastern district towns south from Rockhampton recorded new individual highest spring mean daily maximum temperatures. 

The hottest period occurred across southern Queensland between the 16th and 21st of November when towns were typically more than 10 °C  above the November long term average. 

The hottest day was 46.6 °C at Birdsville Airport on the 18th of November, followed by 46.5 °C at Ballera Gas Field and 46.2 °C at Birdsville Airport on the 20th of November.

Duststorms in September

A strong front moved across southern and western Queensland during the 22nd and 23rd of September.  Hot and gusty north-westerly winds preceded the system over southern Queensland and were replaced by a vigorous south to westerly stream that developed widespread duststorms over southern and western areas of the state. Many of the duststorms were severe with visibility reduced to below 200 metres.

An extended period of dry conditions in central Australia and western parts of Queensland and New South Wales provided an ample dust source that culminated in one of the biggest duststorm events in living memory.  Satellite imagery depicted the magnitude of the dust extending across New South Wales and stretching north to the southeast Gulf of Carpentaria and Cape York and spreading across the northeast tropical coast on the 24th and 25th.

Another frontal passage on the 26th and 27th triggered duststorms again, particularly over western districts where the winds were stronger.  This event was less dramatic but again brought widespread dust to the east coast.

Wind

Thunderstorms triggered the peak wind gust during spring, though winds were strong during the duststorm event in September.

The strongest wind gust was 131 km/h at Double Island Point Lighthouse on the 30th of November, followed by 124 km/h at Richmond Airport on the 23rd of November, followed by 120 km/h at Weipa Aero on the 4th of October.

Floods

Southwest Queensland:

Heavy rainfall was recorded in southwest Queensland at the end of October which produced minor to moderate flooding in both the Paroo and Bulloo Rivers. 

Paroo River: Heavy rainfall produced moderate flooding in the Paroo River catchment with a peak of 1.5 metres being recorded at Hungerford during the afternoon of the 6th of November.  Flood Warnings which began on the 2nd of November continued until flood levels eased below the level of the Paroo River Bridge on the 12th of November

Bulloo River: Heavy rainfall produced minor flooding in the Bulloo River catchment with a peak of 4.4 metres recorded at Thargomindah during the afternoon of the 6th of November.  Flood Warnings which began on the 5th of November were finalised on the 8th of November.
