South Australia in June 2015: Below average rainfall near the coasts, wet in northeast Pastorals
In South Australia, most coastal areas and the southeast districts saw below average rainfall for June. Rainfall was also below average in the far northwest, but central and eastern parts of the State saw falls tend average to above average for the month. Statewide temperatures tended warmer than average as a whole, though some central and eastern districts experienced cooler days and nights.
- Dry across the coasts and southeast
- Above average rainfall across central and eastern parts
- Cooler through central districts
- Warm in the far west and the north
June rainfall was average to above average for central and eastern districts of South Australia, owing mainly to a broad trough of low pressure that slowly moved across the State between the 14th and 18th. The trough and an associated cold, unstable airmass produced the highest June daily rainfall on record at Tumby Bay on the east coast of the Eyre Peninsula. The west coast of the Eyre Peninsula, the lower Murray Valley and Southeast districts missed out on any significant falls for the month, highlighting a lack of rain bearing cold fronts. Some areas received less than 40% of the June total, and some sites had their lowest total June rainfall on record or their lowest total June rainfall for at least 20 years.
The statewide mean maximum temperature was warmer than normal, despite central and eastern districts experiencing cooler than average days. The far west and northern parts of South Australia observed maximum temperatures in excess of 1 °C above the long-term average. The warmest temperatures for the month were recorded on the 6th and again on the 13th as a northerly airstream was directed across the State and resulted in widespread areas recording temperatures at least 5 °C above average. Minimum temperatures were about 2 to 3 °C warmer than average across the north of the State, while some central and eastern parts observed minimum temperatures tending below average.

Notes
The Monthly climate summary lists the main features of the weather in South Australia 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.
A climate summary is generally published on the first working day of each month.
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 11 am on Wednesday 1 July 2015. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
Averages for individual sites 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.
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 used for temperature area averages.
