Source of data

Observations were drawn from Arkaroola {station 017099}.

The closest pressure observations are taken at Leigh Creek, about 100 kilometres to the southwest. In most cases pressure at the two sites should be within 1or 2 Hectopascals, but this should not be relied upon for aviation purposes. No current sunshine and evaporation data are available. The closest sunshine and evaporation observations are taken at Woomera, about 250 kilometres to the southwest. These may give a guide but note that sunshine hours will be affected by differences in cloud amount and evaporation is affected by cloud, relative humidity, temperature and wind strength during the day. See the climate maps for average data.

You should read the important information in these notes.
