This Report covers the calendar months for Autumn. As such, it cross cuts my first weather report (here), in that they both include data for March 2019. So be it.
Dry through March and April. May rains equaled last year's (to two tenths of a millimetre!).
March 1.6mm falling on three days.
April 6.8mm over three days.
May 48.2mm over 15 days.
Classic 'shoulder'season for autumn. No frosts. A couple days of strong winds (mid 60km gusts).
March 40.7'C 15 days 30'C or higher, 3 over 35'C.
April 34.0'C max, 8 days 30'C or higher.
May 26.1'C max, 3.6' min
Garden labour has seamlessly shifted from watering to weeding.
The May rainfall total is exactly the same as last year, but the total rainfall is down about 10mm for the year. The bureau is predicting another dry winter. We'll see.
