The Monthly Weather Review - Northern Territory is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology'sNorthern Territory Climate Services Centre.

It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in NorthernTerritory for 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 Northern Territory makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over thepast 24 hours 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.

Overview

The month of September is the last month of the dryseason and usually begins a transition to highertemperatures and humidity across the NorthernTerritory. Typically in September, the sub-tropicalridge weakens as troughs with associated moisturepunch into the Territory and the climate begins thetransition into the wet season. This month wasstrongly influenced by the sub-tropical ridge as norainfall was recorded until the last two days of themonth. Alice Springs Airport saw the end of itslongest dry spell on record with 157 days with norain recorded since 24 April this year.

Significant weatherSeptember bushfiresOn the 1st and 2nd, several fires between BerrySprings and Darwin River Dam threatened houses, aservice station and mango orchards, fueled by aburst of dry SE winds across the Top End.

Beginning around the same time, another fireburned for seven days in the area around the BlackJungle Conservation Reserve, in Darwin's rural area,burning parts of the nature reserve and flood plainsand threatening 15 homes in the area.

On the 19th, a fire near Girraween in Darwin's ruralarea, fueled by hot, dry, east to southeast windsthreatened approximately 53 homes. Fire fightersused aerial suppression and on-ground resources tobattle the blaze. All homes were saved.

Also on the 19th, another fire near Ban Ban Springs,north of Adelaide River, burned for two days, nostructures were burnt, but 153 sq km of pasturewere lost to the fire.

During the 26th and 27th a number of firesdeveloped around the Marrakai region of the NWDarwin-Daly District burning pasture and threateninga number of rural properties.

Synoptic summaryThe month started with a weak ridge over theNorthern Territory, the ridge gradually eased as ashallow trough developed over the western boarderand moved across on the 5th. On the 6th, anotherhigh pressure system centred over the southernIndian Ocean extends a ridge over the continent witha cool southeast change and showers werecontracted along the northern coast of the Top End.The high moved eastwards and was located over theTasman Sea on the 11th ahead of a developingshallow weak trough over the western boarder. Asoutheast wind flow affected the Territory until 15thas the high moved over to southeast Australia. Aseries of troughs developed on the 16th withincrease humidity in the area until the 22nd, aheadof another high that developed over the southernIndian Ocean. The high pressure system ridged overAustralia until the 24th before another weak andshallow trough developed over the western boarderon the 25th and propagated eastwards with notmuch precipitation.

On the 28th a trough pushed into the Territorybringing rain for the first time in the month. (See therainfall section for more information on this rainfallevent). The trough pushed to the east as a strongridge replaced it. As the high pressure moved to thenortheast it provided a lifting mechanism thatinitiated convection within a heat-trough that wassituated over the Top End.

Minimum temperaturesThe minimum temperatures across the Territorywere below average for most of the month especiallyover the Top End. However, in the Alice SpringsDistrict the minimum temperatures were aboveaverage due to weak troughs with northerly windflow ahead of the trough which moved across thearea. When averaged across the Territory for themonth the mean daily minimum temperature was16 °C, only 0.1 °C above average.

Arltunga recorded the coldest nights with −0.4 °C onthe 10th, 0.0 °C on the 2nd and 0.5 °C on the 3rd.

The coolest nights on average were at Arltunga with9.4 °C, followed by Alice Springs Airport with 9.6 °C,and then Curtin Springs with 10.2 °C.

RainfallThere was only one rainfall event in the Territory thismonth. On 29 and 30 September, a mobile troughmoved slowly across the NT creating a northwestcloudband on the 29th which brought light rain tothe Alice Springs District. Although rainfall amountswere small in the Alice Springs District, for manylocations this was the first rainfall in almost fivemonths. The trough pushed to the east as a strongridge replaced it. As the high pressure moved to thenortheast it provided a lifting mechanism thatinitiated convection within a heat-trough that wassituated over the Top End. Early on the 30th, thistrough not only caused broad scale cloudiness andlight rain, but it also induced surface basedconvection in some areas causing significant rainfallwhich exceeded long term monthly mean for manylocations.

On the 29th, As the northwest cloud band movedacross the Alice Springs District 3.2 mm of rain to theAlice Springs Airport, this ended the longest dry spellon record of 157 days with no rain at the airport.

On the 30th, in the western Top End, Channel Islandhad 31.8 mm, Darwin Airport recorded 21.2 mm,Middle Point measured 39.2 mm and Oenpelli had20.0 mm. While none of these were records, theywere all well above the September monthly mean.Two stations did measure their highest Septemberdaily rainfall on record on the 30th; these areNutwood Downs and Nightcliff Sports Club. NutwoodDowns also measured their highest total Septemberrainfall on record.

The wettest overall was Mainoru Outstation Storewith 75.3 mm, followed by Wongalara with 64.8 mm,and then Walker Creek with 56.0 mm.

The wettest single day was at Mainoru OutstationStore with 75.3 mm on the 30th, followed byWongalara with 64.8 mm on the 30th, and thenWalker Creek with 56.0 mm on the 30th.
