Main Weather Systems

The month started with a day of fine weather conditions across almost the entire state apart from some very isolated showers over the southeast coast.

A middle level trough approached the southwestern border on the 2nd and swept through the southern districts over the next two days. Isolated weak showers over the southern interior on the 2nd increased to patchy rain and scattered thunderstorms on the 3rd, then further spread over the southeast quadrant with some moderate falls near the southeast corner during the late 3rd and the early 4th.

A high moved across the Great Australian Bight and introduced dry and cool conditions to the interior of the state for the next few days. The southeasterly winds brought some coastal showers over the exposed parts of the central and southeast coasts during the 5th to the 7th, then moved into the southern tropical coast on the 8th and produced scattered showers along the tropical coast south of Cairns.

A surface trough extended from the Gulf Country into the Maranoa and Warrego district on the 8th then moved almost parallel with the southeast coast on early the 9th and intensified before moving off the coast line towards east. Isolated showers occurred over the southern and central interior on the 8th and increased to rain areas and scattered thunderstorms around the Darling Downs and Granite Belt district on the 9th before spreading over the southern and the central coasts region. As the trough moved away from the coast, the lingering moisture generated some isolated showers over the southeast quadrant on the 10th. The southwesterly wind behind the trough pushed a dry and cooler air stream over most of the state and maintained fine weather conditions over most parts between the 11th to 15th.

As the wind direction turned to south to southeasterly over the following days, showers dominated the Queensland east coast during 16th to 22nd while the interior and western parts of the state remained fine.

A surface trough approached the southwestern border on early 22nd and pushed a band of rain and scattered showers across the southwestern corner during that afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms associated with the surface trough progressed through the southern parts of the state and crossed the southeast coast during late 23rd and early 24th. Showers cleared the southeast quadrant of the state early on the 24th, then the entire state basked in mostly fine weather conditions through to 28th.

On the 29th, an upper level trough moved into the southwestern Queensland and coupled with a high level jet stream. This combination increased instability and dynamics over the southern and southeastern areas of the state. A surface trough formed over the central Darling Downs and pushed a band of rain and thunderstorms through the southeast during the late 29th to the 31st. Reports of pea size hails were received from many places over the southeast coast between the 30th to 31st.

Rainfall

The southeast inland parts received above long-term average rainfall and the remainder of the southeast, most of the western, the tropical and the interior parts of the state had less than average rainfall. The state averaged May monthly rainfall was 11.98 mm which was significantly below the long-term (1961-1990) May average rainfall of 30.48 mm. About 13.3% of the area received very much below average rainfall (decile 1 range). These areas included the north tropical coast, the central interior and a small area near the southwestern border.

The wettest overall was Bellenden Ker Top with 279.8 mm, followed by Rainbow Beach with 214.0 mm, then Point Lookout with 210.6 mm.

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

The wettest single day was at Point Lookout with 73.9 mm on the 30th, followed by Peachester with 58.2 mm on the 22nd, then Clermont Sirius St with 50.0 mm on the 20th.
