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.

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.

Significant weatherSevere thunderstorms with hailA broad area of low pressure resided over the Stateduring the 8th and 9th triggering severethunderstorms on each of these days. A severe stormmoving from Pakenham to the southwest overMornington on the 9th produced 30 mm of rain atPakenham and 24 mm at Cranbourne. On the 10ththe trough became mobile and progressed across theState with thunderstorms developing in mostdistricts. Hailstones of 3−5 cm diameter werereported in Korumburra while a flash flooding reportwas received from Tarrawingee. Overnight thestorms spread into rain about central and easternareas with the heaviest falls focussed around theMelbourne area with almost 50 mm falling at ahandful of locations.

Thunderstorms and flash floodingA weak trough resided over Victoria on the 16th andcombined with elevated surface moisture to producethunderstorms over the eastern ranges. Flashflooding was reported by a spotter at Tongio in EastGippsland with in excess of 25 mm recorded in 20mins. A trough over South Australia then movedtowards Victoria on the 17th, moving into the westof the State during the 18th and combining with avery moist atmosphere to trigger severethunderstorms that produced very heavy rainfall andflash flooding in western and central districts.Mildura airport recorded 59 mm of rain during theearly morning, over half of this falling in less than anhour. Storms in the afternoon saw further heavyrainfall observed including 27 mm in 10 minutes atStawell and 18 mm in under 6 minutes at Trenthamwhile there were also reports of 55 mm in 30minutes at Mockinya (south of Horsham) and almost60 mm in 15−18 minutes at Great Western whichforced the closure of the Western Highway.Unconfirmed reports were received of rainfall inexcess of 150 mm around the Grampians region andthe visitors centre at Halls Gap was flooded. TheWimmera River exceeded the moderate flood levelas a result of the rainfall. The SES responded toaround 300 requests for assistance, 80 of thesearound Mildura, mostly due to flash flooding andbuilding damage.

Christmas day thunderstorms with hailFrom the 21st through until the 26th a blocking highpattern was set up over the southeast of thecontinent with a quasi-stationary high residing overNew Zealand and a trough extending over Victoriafrom the interior of the continent. The stationarypattern allowed for a number of days of warm, moistnortherly airflow across the State which lead to highmoisture levels through a deep layer creatingunstable conditions. Severe thunderstormsdeveloped in the east on the 24th producing heavyrainfall while 19 mm hail was reported at Mt BawBaw. On Christmas Day an upper level trough

approaching from the west lead to strong low-levelshear allowing the unstable atmosphere to develop anumber of supercells (very severe long lastingthunderstorm cells) around the Melbourne area,chiefly through the northern suburbs. The first ofthese began during the early afternoon and stormscontinued until well into the evening. Numerousreports of large hail were received, ranging up to6 cm in diamter and causing significant damage toproperty and cars. Storms also produced very heavyrainfall with some locations suffering flash floodingas a result of multiple storms moving over the samelocation. Video footage on the internet shows streetsawash around Greensborough, Eltham and DiamondCreek. There was even a report of a tornado,captured on film at Fiskville. Broadly speaking thenorthern and eastern suburbs were the worstaffected areas. The SES received over 3500 requestsfor assistance within the first 12 hours after theevent. Five interstate SES crews were deployed toassist local crews with the Insurance Council ofAustralia estimating the damage at over $100 millionwith over 20,000 claims received.

Synoptic summaryThe month was characterised by a much strongerthan usual ridge of high pressure over high latitudes.The ridge extended from a blocking pair over NewZealand longitudes across waters to the south ofWestern Australia. The persistent easterly flowacross southeastern Australia was responsible for thewarmer and more humid weather whichcharacterised the month, and also for the occasionalthunderstorm outbreaks.

It was a different story in thesouth and east where stations generally recordedtwice as many raindays as those in the northwest.The wettest station overall was Mount Baw Baw with195.6 mm and the wettest single day was the 19thwhen Halls Gap recorded 80.0 mm.
