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.

Significant weatherWidespread flooding across the northA major rain event affected the north of Victoria onthe weekend of the 4th and 5th as a low pressuresystem over South Australia deepened and movedinto Bass Strait, with an associated trough extendingnorth into NSW. Rain began falling on the 3rd and by9 am on the 4th a large proportion of the state hadreceived in excess of 25 mm, with some areasreceiving as much as 80 mm. Rainfall continuedduring the 4th with the highest 24 hour totals to9 am on the 5th centred over the northeast rangeswith some places receiving in excess of 130 mm. Thehighest rainfall totals for the event were 242.8 mmat Falls Creek, 216.4 mm at Whitlands and 181 mmat Myrrhee. Significant riverine flooding occurredover the ensuing days as flood waters made theirway into the states river systems. Major floodwarnings were issued for many river systemsincluding the Avoca, King, Ovens, Goulburn andWimmera Rivers with many homes and businessaffected in towns such as Creswick, Charlton,Wangaratta and Shepparton. Every river basin northof the Great Divide experienced Major floodingexcept for the Campaspe which saw areas ofModerate flooding. A total of 331 flood warnings(110 Major) were issued for the duration of theevent. New record flood peaks were recorded at 10forecasting locations in northern Victoria.

Strong winds also affected southern and elevatedareas of the state from late on the 4th and overnightinto the 5th as the low moved into the Tasman Sea.The strongest recorded gust was 137 km/h at FallsCreek, while away from the Alpine areas thestrongest gusts were 122 km/h at Colac and WilsonsPromontory and 118 km/h at Cape Otway. In theMelbourne area 104 km/h was the strongest windgust, recorded at St Kilda. The Victorian SES receivedover 2000 requests for assistance across the durationof the event.

TornadosTwo separate tornado reports were also received forthe month. One was reported on the afternoon ofthe 4th just east of Broadford to the north ofMelbourne. A storm spotter reported a damage patharound 100 m wide and 4km long with numeroustrees damaged and roof tiles removed from onehouse.

Synoptic summarySeptember started with a trough extending from thenorthwest corner of the state through to WestGippsland. Behind the trough was a cold front thatdelivered rainfall to most districts on the 1st and2nd. A high pressure system moved across BassStraight on the 3rd, clearing away most of the rainbefore a deep low pressure system passed to thesouth of the state in the following days. Widsepreadrainfall associated with the low pressure systemcontributed more than 50 mm to some parts of thestate on the 4th and 5th. This rainfall went on toproduce significant flooding in the north of the stateand was the largest rainfall event for the month.

A high pressure system centred over the state on the7th made way for another cold front that came infrom the west on the 9th. Rainfall associated withthe front was recorded in most districts on the 10th.The next few days were dominated by a highpressure system before another low pressure systemtracked eastward across the north of the state on the14th. Rainfall associated with the low pressuresystem was focused over the North Mallee District.Trailing behind the low pressure system, a cold frontswept across southern parts of the state on the 15thbut delivered less than 10 mm to most parts.

Over the following days the synoptic pattern overVictoria did not change much. A strong high pressuresystem in the Southern Ocean remained almoststationary for three days before it began to slowlymove east into the Great Australian Bight. This set upa south-westerly wind pattern across most of thestate until the 21st, with rainfall confined to thecoastal districts excluding East Gippsland. Movingeastward, the high pressure system began to weakenand a new series of cold fronts, associated with lowpressure systems in the Southern Ocean, crossed thestate on the 25th and 27th. A trough skimmed acrossthe bottom of the state on the 28th and thesouth-westerly winds helped deliver widespreadrainfall to southern and central parts of the state.Another high pressure system moved into the GreatAustralian Bight on the 29th before trackingeastwards to finish the month over the top ofVictoria.
