The Monthly Weather Review - Tasmania is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Tasmaniaand Antarctica Climate Services Centre.

It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Tasmaniafor the month.

To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although everyeffort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality controlprocedures have been carried out. Major discrepancies will be noted in later issues.

We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to the needs of its readers. If you have any comments orsuggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us:

Units of measurementExcept where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometres per hour(km/h).

Observation times and periodsEach station in Tasmania makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past 24hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the followingconventions are used for assigning dates to the observations made:

Maximum temperatures are for the 24 hours from 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the afternoon of that day.

Minimum temperatures are for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the early morning of that day.

Mean temperatures are the average of the daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures.

Daily rainfall is for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. This means a significant fraction of the rain may have occurred onthe previous calendar day.

Monthly rainfall is for the period from 9 am on the last day of the previous month to 9 am on the last day of this month.

Maximum daily wind gusts are in the 24 hours from midnight to midnight.

Climatological valuesThe climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from all availableyears of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 10 years of record, as they cannotthen be calculated reliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from available observations from all available years of record.The number of years can vary substantially from site to site.

Synoptic summaryA deep low pressure system far to the south ofTasmania extended a vigorous westerly flow acrossthe state on the 1st, bringing fresh and gustyconditions. Winds were especially strong in the eastand southeast where gusts over 100 km/h wererecorded. The west to southwest wind patterncontinued through to the 5th as a series of coldfronts crossed Tasmania and a high pressure systemmoved across the Great Australian Bight and overthe southeast mainland. Temperatures droppedbehind a front which crossed on the 3rd, most areasobserving their coldest day and night of the monthon either the 4th or 5th. Showers persisted in thesouth and west through the period, with a cold fronton the 4th extending showers and thunderstormswith hail to other areas through the day. Rain andshowers continued on the 5th, with thunderstormsabout the west and Bass Strait.

Winds shifted northwesterly from the 6th to the 8thas the high moved into the Tasman Sea and anothercold front approached, most sites observing theirwarmest day of the month before the front crossedlate on the 8th. The front brought scattered showersand thunderstorms to most areas, particularly thenorth. Scattered showers continued in the west inthe wake of the front on the 9th. Another ridge ofhigh pressure quickly followed as a high crossed theBight and merged with another high in the Tasmansea on the 11th. Mostly fine conditions prevailedthrough to the 12th, and temperatures warmed aswinds shifted northerly.

A slow moving trough brought showers to much ofthe state on the 13th, with thunderstorms and heavyfalls observed about the north. Low cloud and drizzlepersisted in the north and east on the 14th, before alow pressure system and associated cloud bandcrossed Tasmania overnight, extending rainstatewide and producing locally heavy falls in thenorthwest. The rain contracted to the south, westand east during the during the day on the 15th, withisolated thunderstorms observed in the southeastthat afternoon. Another cold front crossed early onthe 16th, maintaining showers and gusty conditionsacross Tasmania.

A ridge of high pressure to the north of Tasmaniamaintained a westerly wind flow over the state,which shifted northwesterly as a cold frontapproached on the 19th. Showers continued in thewest through to the 18th, before the cold frontbrought rain and thunderstorms to most areas as itcrossed on the 19th.

West to northwest winds prevailed from the 20th tothe 22nd as a high pressure system crossed the Bightand moved into the Tasman Sea, maintainingisolated showers in the south and west of Tasmania.An approaching trough and low pressure systembrought cloudy but mild conditions to much of thestate on the 23rd, with light isolated showers

reported about the west and south. Sea fog andcoastal mist was also observed about the northeastand northwest. Temperatures were warmer thanaverage ahead of the trough which crossed on the24th, extending light showers to most areas withthunderstorms in the east and southeast.

Westerly winds continued for the rest of December.A high pressure system approached from the westand moved into the Tasman Sea ahead of a coldfront which crossed on the 27th. The cold frontbrought showers to the south and west, andgenerated thunderstorms in the south and east onthe evening of the 27th and morning of the 28th.Another cold front followed on the 29th with a freshand gusty southwesterly flow developing in its wake.Showers continued in the south and west, before athird cold front approached late on the 31st.

RainfallThe heaviest rainfall event of December was when alow pressure system and associated cloud bandcrossed Tasmania overnight on the 14th, producinglocally heavy rainfall in the northwest. Sites acrossthe north recorded 20 to 40 mm of rain in the 24hours to 9 am on the 15th, and a few sites in thenorthwest received up to 80 mm, includingUlverstone with 78 mm and Wynyard with 68 mm,the highest December daily rainfall on record at bothsites.

Other wet days were the 19th, when a cold frontproduced falls of up to 40 mm in the north and west,and around the 4th and 14th when cold fronts andtroughs brought falls of 20 to 40 mm to the west. Inother areas, daily totals above 10 mm wereuncommon during December.

Overall, monthly rainfall totals were below averagein the east, but were average to above averageacross the north and west. Fingal only recorded13.8 mm for the whole month, the driest site inTasmania, and Scamander had its driest December in24 years with only 15.2 mm.
