July wrap up around the grounds
Guy Dixon, Friday July 31, 2015 - 16:19 AEST
The month of July was quite dynamic across the nation, with some particularly strong cold fronts which delivered low level snow as far north as the Border Ranges, and spells of prolonged dry and warm conditions, particularly along the east coast.
Relative to the long term average, Sydney came out on top as the warmest capital city with maximum temperatures trending one degree above the mean. Counter intuitively, Brisbane has actually been the coolest capital relative to average, with maximum temperatures trending 0.9 degrees below average for this time of the year.
Residents of Adelaide got the most use out of the winter blankets and heaters with minimum temperatures trending 0.8 degrees below the July average. Contrasting to this, Perth experienced a particularly mild July with overnight temperatures trending a substantial 1.5 degrees above the mean.
Whilst being the warmest during the day, Sydney was also the driest capital relative to average, falling a huge 50mm short of their monthly average of 97.4mm. Melbourne collected the most rain in the bucket, exceeding the monthly average of 47.5mm by 11.3mm.
Darwin experienced a pretty usual warm and dry July. Not a drop of rain was recorded (the average is 1.2mm) and they enjoyed a balmy average maximum of 31.3 degrees, 0.7 degrees above the long term average.
Canberra on the other hand endured some bitterly cold conditions. On six occasions the maximum temperature failed to crack double digits, while on the Friday 3rd, the mercury fell to -7 degrees overnight which goes down as the equal coldest night since last season.
Hobart fell well within the normal bounds in terms of temperature, not straying more than 0.4 degrees from the long term average overnight or during the day. Interestingly, despite some particularly strong fronts, they have been left with a 30mm rainfall deficit as the month draws to a close.
