The Monthly Weather Review - Victoria is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's VictoriaClimate Services Centre.

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

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.

OverviewA series of frontal systems brought above averagerainfall totals to most of Victoria this month. In fact,August 2010 was the 6th wettest August on recordfor Victoria and the first individual month with over100 mm state-wide average rainfall since September1993. Frequent cloud cover and damp conditionsrestricted daytime warming, with maximumtemperatures well below average. August 2010 wasmuch more in line with the long-term average intemperatures and rainfall with Victoriansexperiencing typical wintery conditions for the firsttime in years.

Significant weatherThunderstorms and tornado lash VictoriaSeveral days of severe weather were experiencedacross Victoria from the 10th to the 12th of Augustas a low pressure system which developed over theinterior of the continent moved over the state andinto Bass Strait. Thunderstorms occurred over thenorth of Victoria during the 10th with reports of atornado near Echuca-Moama on the Victorian/NSWborder. SES advised of one house partially de-roofedwhile a newspaper photograph captured the tornado(including a sign post soaring high in the sky).

As the low moved into Bass Strait and deepened onthe 11th, very heavy rainfall was recorded in theWestern district (particularly around the OtwayRanges) while strong winds were experienced in thewest of the state on the 11th and in the east of thestate on the 12th as the low quickly moved away tothe southeast. Apollo Bay, Cape Otway Lighthouseand Weeaproinah recorded record daily Augustrainfall (close to half the monthly average) whilenumerous roads in the southwest of the state wereinundated with water. A number of minor andmoderate flood warnings were issued. The largesttwo-day rainfall totals were at Weeaproinah(202.2 mm), Haines Junction (135.4 mm), Apollo Bay(105.2 mm) and Lorne (90.4 mm). Strongest windgusts included 148 km/h at Mt Wiliam, 109 km/h atBen Nevis, 107 km/h at Wilsons Prom and 102 km/hat Cape Otway Lighthouse. The Victorian SESreceived over 1000 requests for assistance, mostrelating to trees down causing traffic hazards.

Strong winds and hail on the 18thOn the 18th, a strong northerly wind flow developedacross the state ahead of a trough and cold front. Anumber of elevated locations in the west of the staterecorded wind gusts in excess of 90 km/h, with96 km/h at Mt William the highest. A number ofsevere thunderstorms also developed in the north ofthe state in the afternoon and evening with reportsof 20 cent coin sized hail at Netherby, large hail andtrees down at Kerang and Cohuna, and flash floodingat Wedderburn and Warracknabeal where the SESreceived 15 calls for help.

Bumper snow fall in Alpine areasLate in the month, some heavy snowfalls wererecorded in the Victorian alps as a cold air massmoved across the region on the 25th and 26th. Themajor ski resorts received plenty of snowfall in a 24hour period including 54 cm at Falls Creek, 47 cm atMt Hotham and 34 cm at Mt Buller.

Flood warnings current from 1st to 31stA total of 194 Flood Watches and Warnings wereissued for the month of August, with warningscurrent from the 1st through to the 31st of themonth.

The majority of Flood Warnings issued were of aMinor nature, generally to the north of the divideand in response to consistent rainfall on top ofsaturated catchments. Additionally, six of the sevenModerate flood warnings were issued in the Barwonand Leigh river catchments at forecast pointsupstream of Geelong. Moderate flooding wasexperienced (as forecast) upstream of Geelong,which resulted in a recorded peak of 2.1 metres(Minor Flood Class Level 2.5 metres) at Geelong onthe 15th.

The Kiewa catchment recorded a total of 24 floodwarnings for the month August. Our forecast point atBandiana spent the majority of the month above theMinor Flood Level of 2.7 metres.

Synoptic summaryAugust was characterised by the frequent passage ofcold fronts, and the month commenced in this waywith a front and trough combination passing Victoriaon the 1st and 2nd. After passing into the TasmanSea, an East Coast Low developed along theAustralian coastline from northern New South Walesinto Bass Strait. The progression of the front, and thestationarity of the low pressure system bringingmoist flow onto the mainland, was associated withwidespread rainfall in most locations recording 20 to60 mm between the 1st and 3rd.

Another cold front passed the state on the 4th and5th bringing light showers of up to 10 mm to mostregions. A high pressure system followed betweenthe 6th and the 8th, responsible for the only day thismonth (the 8th) where no rainfall was recorded atany station in Victoria. A major low pressure systemassociated trough which developed in centralAustralia on the 9th and intensified, extending southinto northern Victoria, brought severe weather tomuch of Victoria as it progressed to the south-easttowards Tasmania and finally exiting the Australianregion on the 12th. The tropical moisture associatedwith this system brought the heaviest falls for themonth to much of the state, particularly in the southwest where Weeaproinah recorded the highest dailyrainfall of 110 mm.

Another inland trough and southern ocean cold frontcombination reached Victoria on the 18th. Rainfallacross Victoria, with the exception of the south-east,was notable particularly in the Northern Country,Northeast and North Central districts recordingbetween 15 and 20 mm, with the some stations inthe Alpine region in excess of 50 mm. Coldtemperatures both night and day together with thepassing of several frontal systems in the second halfof the month, combined to excite snow goers withbumper falls adding to already primed ski conditions.Several cold fronts hit the state in the last week, withsnow reportedly falling to low levels between the21st and 27th.

The month concluded with a slow moving highpressure system which brought warm spring-likeconditions to much of Victoria, with daytimetemperatures above 18 °C common across the Stateon the 30th and 31st, particularly in the north-west.

TemperaturesFrontal systems brought cool air from the southernocean to Victoria throughout August, with regularcloud cover suppressing daytime temperatures. Themean temperature for Victoria was the 13th lowestfor August, with just 8.4 °C, 0.7 °C below thelong-term average. The combined effect of a lack ofdaytime warming and persistent cloud cover meantthat overnight temperatures were close to averagethis month with a reduced variation in the warmestand coldest nights compared to ususal.

Maximum temperaturesChilly days were experienced throughout Victoriawith average maximum temperatures approximately1.5 °C lower than that usually experienced in August.Frequent cloud cover associated with frontal systemsprevented daytime heating of the atmosphere,which led to cool daytime temperatures, oftenremaining below 12 °C. In fact, several locations,including Strathbogie and Noojee, observed recordlow average daytime temperatures for the month.Although the warmest location on average in themetropolitan area, the Melbourne Regional Officehasn't experienced lower average daytime Augusttemperatures since 1992.

The Alpine areas experienced icy days throughoutAugust, Mount Hotham the coldest location thismonth, averaging just −1.2 °C. The 25th was thecoldest day with Mount Hotham also recording thelowest maximum temperature, −4.7 °C and MountBuller equalling its previous record coldest Augustday, reaching just −3.5 °C.

In contrast, the warmest days on average wereobserved at Mildura Airport, a mild 15.7 °C. Morethan half the State observed the warmest day on the30th where sunny spring-like conditions raisedtemperatures over 18 °C. Yet surprisingly, thewarmest days of the month were the 19th, with apleasant 21.4 °C recorded at Gabo Island Lighthouseand the 31st even warmer, reaching 21.5 °C atMildura Airport.

Minimum temperaturesMinimum temperatures were slightly below averagethis month, with persistent cloud cover moderatingovernight cooling. The coolest nights across the Statewere the 7th, 8th and 25th, with particularly frostyconditions in the north and west recorded on the17th.

Across the south and east of the State, including theAlpine areas, freezing sub-zero overnighttemperatures were recorded on the 25th, withMount Hotham observing a very icy −7.6 °C.Interestingly, Mount Hotham, Falls Creek and MountBuller stations all recorded temperatures below−7 °C on the night of the 25th, with Mount Hothamexperiencing nights below this temperature fivetimes this month. Mount Buller and Mount Hothamrecorded sub-zero overnight temperatures every daythis month, the first time this has happened at FallsCreek since records began in 1990 and at MountBuller this had not occurred since August 1989.

The lighthouse stations experienced the warmestovernight temperatures again this month, averaging8.4 °C at Cape Nelson Lighthouse and WilsonsPromontory Lighthouse, which was, surprisingly,even warmer than the average at the MelbourneRegional Office (7.6 °C). Crossing the State on the14th and 15th, a weak cold front followed by a highpressure system, was associated with extensivecloud cover. This prevented substantial overnightcooling on the 15th in particular, with severallocations, Gabo Island Lighthouse, Frankston AWSand Rhyll observing their warmest night for themonth.remaining above 11 °C.

RainfallA continuous succession of cold fronts passed acrossthe Victorian region during August, resulting in aboveaverage rainfall state-wide. Over half the Staterecorded rainfall in the highest 10% of previoustotals, with some locations in the Western district,specifically Weeaproinah, Cape Otway Lighthouseand Apollo Bay, all highest on record. Furthermore,over 60 stations across the State recorded theirhighest August rainfall on record, with severalstations also registering record high daily Augustrainfall this month associated with the severeweather experienced between the 10th and 12th.

In fact, Weeaproinah experienced not only theirwettest August on record, but also their wettestmonth on record, with a 578 mm soaking. Thisequates to almost one third of the usual annualrainfall at Weeaproinah and is more than double theaverage for August. Numerous locations across theState recorded rainfall of more than twice theaverage for August, particularly in the Westerndistrict and Northern Country.

Significant frontal systems passed across the State,bringing widespread rain and strong winds. Aparticularly strong low pressure system centred inBass Strait on the 11th, progressed across the Statein the late afternoon through to evening, causingwidespread precipitation. This system was associatedwith the highest daily rainfall for the month withWeeaproinah and Wyelangta recording 110.0 mmand 104.0 mm respectively on the 12th. Substantialsnowfalls in Alpine areas were recorded between the24th and 27th, with snow reported down to lowlevels.
