Tasmania in November 2014: variable spring weather, dry overall

Tasmania saw a mixture of cool and very warm days through November 2014. The 1st, 2nd, 5th and 24th were especially cool, but the 7th, 8th, 19th and 23rd were warm. Overnight minimum temperatures were also mixed, with some quite cold mornings in the first half of the month but some quite mild ones scattered through as well. The warmest weather was mostly on the 8th, when a few sites topped 30 °C, and two had their warmest November night on record. Overall, both mean maximum and mean minimum temperatures were close to normal at most sites, tending to be below normal in the west and above normal in the east. Although temperatures were generally above average, they were closer to the monthly normals than has been the case for most of the year.

Despite frequent westerly winds that meant most days on the west coast were wet, rainfall was below average in much of the State. The northern half was particularly dry, with some areas near the northern Midlands receiving less than 10 mm for the month and a few sites having their driest November on record. The southwest, and parts of the southeast, had near-average rain.

• Many cool days, but some very warm and temperatures near average overall
• Cool nights for much of the month, but near average overall
• Wet days in the west, but total rain below average in most areas
