June 2012 Summary

In Brief:
Wet, with mild nights and cool days.

Temperature [Minimum]:
The coolest night of June 2012 was that of the 18th/19th with 9.9 degs C. The minimum temperature for June has only been higher than this once in the last 9 Junes.  The night of the 27th/28th was the warmest night of the month with 16.5 degs C.  This was the equal second warmest June night since at least 2004, and was only exceeded in 2010.
The average night-time temperature for June 2012 was 13.15 degs C, which is the equal highest [with 2007] of the last nine.

Temperature [Maximum]:
The coldest day of the month was the 14th with a temperature of just 14.9 degs C. This was the third coldest June day since at least 2004.  It was only slightly less cold than the coldest ever June day*, which was 14.7 in 2009.
The warmest day of the month was the 1st with 23.5 degs C, and even this was the lowest maximum for June at this location.*
These facts led to the average daytime temperature for the month being 19.21 degs C, which was also the lowest of the last nine Junes.
The temperature exceeded 20 degs C on at least 12 days. This is the second lowest June total since 2004, but higher than the 9 days in 2011.

Rainfall:
129.4 mm of rain fell during the month, making it the wettest June of the last five. April 2012 was wetter still however, with 188.4 mm, but April saw more than twice as many completely dry 24 hour periods than June, which only had 4. This was the same number as January 2012, and the fewest of the last 5 Junes.
So although June only had around 70% of the rain April did, it was spread out more over the month, making it more often wet.
The wettest day itself was the 20th with 19 mm. 

Wind:
Unseasonally strong winds occurred on the 7th as a deep depression moved across the area.

*Since at least 2004.

The coldest night of the month was that of the 11th/12th with a low of 6.6 degs C. Equalling the coldest night of May 2011, this is a high figure for May's coldest night, as there have been colder nights every May from at least 2004.
Before May 2012 the warmest May night at this location* was 14.0 degs C, which occurred in 2010.  That figure was beaten 5 times this month, mostly in the last 7 days, and the warmest night of all being that of the 24th/25th, when the temperature didn't fall below 16.2 degs C.  This was also the warmest night since 9th/10th September 2011.
The average night-time temperature for May 2012 was 10.56 degs C, which was only the second highest of the last nine Mays.  May 2008 was highest with 11.51 degs C.

Temperature [Maximum]:
The coldest day of the month was the 15th with 13.3 degs C, and the warmest the 25th with 23.0 degs C. This led to an average maximum temperature of 17.44 degs C. Unlike with nights, even the warmer last 10 days of the month could not lift this May's average any higher than the third coldest of the last nine.
The maximum exceeded 20 degs C 5 times, which is average for the last nine Mays.

Rainfall:
A total of 36.6 mm of rain fell during the month, making this May the wettest since 2009 - however the previous two Mays were very dry and this May was still the second driest month of the year so far.
The wettest day itself was the 9th with 8.9 mm, and there were only two other days [7th and 27th] with more than 5.0 mms.
Most of the month's rain fell between the 7th and 10th, and on the 14th and 27th.
The first six days had no measurable rain, as did the last four, and only 1 mm fell between the 15th and 25th.
There were 22 completely dry days - this is the most per month since April 2011, and the most of the last five Mays.

Thunder:
There was no thunder this month.

April 2012 Summary

In Brief:
Cold and wet!

Temperature: Minimum:
Night-time temperatures ranged from 3.0 degs C on the night of the 5th/6th to 10.3 degs C on the night of the 8th/9th. This maximum has always been exceeded every April since at least 2004.
It is worthy of note that only three nights separated the coldest and mildest night of the month.

The average night-time temperature was 6.87 degs C, making this April the second coldest for nights of the last 9. [April 2010 had an average of 6.76 degs C].

The temperature fell below 5 degs C on at least 6 nights this April, however they were all before the 17th.


Temperature: Maximum:
The coldest day of April 2012 was the 4th, with just 8.8 degs C. This was not only the coldest ever April day but was the first time the temperature on an April day did not reach double figures at this location.* Furthermore it was also colder than any day in March 2012.
The mildest day of April 2012 was the 8th, with 17.0 degs C. This was the lowest ever maximum temperature reached during April at this location* and easily failed to beat the 19.1 degs C reached on 29th March 2012.
Similar to night-time values, it is interesting that only four days separated the coldest and mildest day of the month.

The average day-time temperature for the month was 13.41 degs C, which, unsurprisingly, was the lowest ever recorded for April at this location!* Furthermore it only just exceeded the average for March 2012 of 13.17.

It was the 5th April of the last 9 where the temperature did not exceed 20 degs C.


Rainfall:
188.4 mm of rain fell during the month making it the wettest April of the last five, and the wettest of any month since November 2009.
The single wettest day of the month was the 29th, with 31.1 mm. This was the wettest April day of the last five, and the wettest day since 24th October 2011. The total rainfall exceeded 15 mm on 5 more days.
There were 9 or 10 completely dry days during the month, although only one after the 16th [28th].
The 1st and 2nd were dry, concluding the dry spell begun on 23rd March. The 'longest' dry spell with no measurable rain was from the 5th to the 8th.
