Well, after a slow start rainfall wise, February has delivered the good stuff right across the Top End and down into the central districts of the NT. Some very good falls have produced flooding rains as far south as Tennant Creek as the Northern Monsoon re-established itself over the Top End. Max and min temps were generally about average, with the overcast conditions helping to modify the max temps. Rainfall - 471.4mm falling on 18 days ( long term mean 369.0mm ) Highest daily fall - 90.4mm on the 24th. Max temps - 31.4c av ( long term mean 31.5c ) Highest max - 33.7c on the 16th. Lowest max - 29.4c on the 24th Min temps - 25.5c av ( long term mean 24.8c ) Highest min - 28.2c on the 9th. Lowest min - 22.7c on the 24th. Rainfall - 4.8mm falling on 3 days ( long term mean 41.9mm ) Highest daily fall - 4.2mm on the 1st. Max temps - 35.7c av ( long term mean 35.2c ) Highest max - 39.3c on the 12th. Lowest max - 27.6c on the 4th. Min temps - 19.1c av ( long term mean 20.7c ) Highest min - 23.2c on the 24th. Lowest min 1i.9c on the 5th Rainfall - 158.0mm falling on 18 days ( long term mean 271.4mm ) Highest daily fall - 30.4mm on the 20th. Max temps - 31.3c av ( long term mean 31.7c ) Highest max - 34.0c on the 1st. Lowest max - 28.3c on the 15th. Min temps - 25.0c av ( long term mean 24.6c (highest min - 27,2c on the 2nd. Lowest min - 22.9c on the 5th. Notes/- some random NT Feb 2023 facts and figures: Tennant Creek ( 1000klm south of Darwin-500klm north of Alice Springs ) was quite cool for Feb, running 2.8c below average ( max temps ) and 1.7c below average ( min temps ). Also a downpour of 118.4mm on the 19th and 65.2mm on the 2nd. The monthly rainfall of 224.4mm was double the mean for Feb. The town of Nhulunbuy on the Gove Peninsular is only 10 klm from Gove Airport..... here are the monthly rainfall figures for both sites. Town : 404.2mm Airport : 158.8mm

Frostless February Summary Sheffield 2023Yes... needs mentioning in title. Frostless February. Another month, another record. And (for anti-polar foamers like me), a good record. FEBRUARY... here at 54°N.... with NO frost, and NO snow. Nada, not a single day. How often does that happen huh? Well, NEVER m8. Until 2023. Not only that, but as well as being mild it was also sunny, and also dry. 8.5mm of rain? Uh huh. What happened here then? Well just look at the super high pressure anomaly.... that's what happened. Euro heights most of the way through. Gotta say I have no complaints. None at all. Great month.

The 41.3°C was the warmest temperature recorded since early 2020. The month was looking to average 26°C in maximums but that shocking last day ruined it.

Despite a mild start to the month, February ended up being slightly below average due to the last week having quite a strong cold snap (which unfortunately looks like it's continuing on through the first half of March). It also ended up being colder than January, which means January was our warmest winter month this season. Average high: -8.5C (normal: -7.2C) Average low: -19.4C (normal: -17.8C) Mean temperature: -14.0C (normal: -12.5C) Warmest high: 4.0C (Feb 10th) Warmest low: -5.0C (Feb 13th) Coldest high: -27.1C (Feb 22nd) Coldest low: -36.2C (Feb 23rd) Precipitation total: 4.5mm (normal: 8.8mm) Precipitation days: 6 (normal: 7.1)

Rediculous month as can be seen in Cadeau's summary. Even 0.0 mm in SE suburban Melun. Rainless and even more dew/hoarfrost less months are exceedingly rare. In fact Orly's previous precipless month was in Feb as well IIRC, back in 1959.

- It was the 6th year in a row where February was the coldest month of the winter. - The month finished with a mean temp exactly that of the 1991-2020 normals. - It was a pretty consistent winter - all three months finished with a mean temp within 0.3C of each other. Downtown:

February has great temps—largely mild with two sharp, short lived cold snaps. Too dry and sunny but the temps were good enough I can’t complain. Best of all, only 3 highs between 25-42 f. Winter as a whole was cold and dry and the first since 1948 with a sub-10 f high in all 3 months. Average high: 47.4 (+0.6 f) Average low: 17.0 (-3.7 f) Mean: 32.2 (-1.6 f) Precipitation: 0.39” (-0.08”, 83%) Precip days: 2 Snowfall: 4.8” (-2.8”, 63%) Snow days: 2 Max snow depth: 4” on the 22nd Days snow lying: 9 Highest temp: 59 on the 11th Lowest temp: -14 on the 23rd Highest low: 34 on the 20th Lowest high: 8 on the 23rd Other stats: > Median high: 49.0 (+1.6 f from mean) Median low: 17.5 (+0.5 f from mean)
True daily mean: 31.0 (-1.2 f from mean) Mean dew point: 13.5 Mean RH%: 53.2%
Highest dew: 34.0 on the 21st (1.1 c) Lowest dew: -17.6 on the 23rd (-27.6 c)

At 215m/705' elevation so around 2-3F cooler than here in general. Precipitation is typically the same or a little drier here.

Average February conditions (1991-2020) Average high: 25.9°C | Daily mean: 20.3°C | Average low: 14.7°C Average precipitation: 38.2mm | Average precipitation days (>0.2mm): 7.0 | Average relative humidity: 50% Another drier than average month. Max temps were slightly below average, while min temps were exactly average. Most days were in the low 20s, but a few random days in the 30s-40s somewhat elevated the monthly average high (typical Melbourne). Notably, this month also had our first high above 40°C since Jan 2021, which was also our warmest max temp since Jan 2020.

February 2023 Summary for Scoresby
Avg max: 26.3c (-0.7c) Avg mean: 20.0c (-0.6c) Avg min: 13.7 (-0.4c) Max high: 39.9c (17th) Max low: 23.1c (25th) Min high: 17.6c (3rd) Min low: 8.8c (14th) Precipitation: 29.8mm (52.9% of mean) Days with precip >=0.2mm: 11 Days with precip >=1mm: 4 Sunshine: 223.3 hrs A cooler and drier month. The first week was well below average and delivered most of the monthly rainfall. A warmer and sunnier period then mostly prevailed until the last few days, however this wasn't enough to make up for the large negative anomalies at the start. We had our highest temp since Jan 2021 (which was also 39.9c), but I'm mildly annoyed that it was just off the 40 degree mark. Most of Melbourne broke the '40c drought' on the 17th, but officially we haven't yet.

February 2023 Summary for Madison, WIFebruary was another very warm month by WI standards, coming in over 6 F warmer than the full POR averages; December was in face the coldest month of this winter, the first time that's happened since 2016-2017. (Curiously, despite how much warmer than average the month was as a whole, its extreme temperatures were both within a degree of what's typical!) It started off on a COLD note, with a low of -8 F (-22 C) on the 3rd - but that ended up being the last severe cold blast of the season (knock on wood) and warmed up quickly from there. In fact, this February had more days with highs in the 40s (12 days!) than in any other decade; only seven days failed to make it to freezing or above. Snowfall was once again above the long-term average, for the fourth straight month in a row, though it was remarkably concentrated: over 70% of that snowfall came on just two days, the 9th and 16th. (In fact, it was pointed out by quite a few people I know that the bad weather had a tendency to keep coming on a Thursday!) The month also ended up firmly wetter than average thanks to a large rain system on the 27th, which allowed me to hear thunder for the first time since November. The Year So FarIf March and December also both have a mean above -3 C just like January and February did this year, then Madison will have a Koppen subtropical year for the first time since 2002. The streak of good months since I moved here continues, though I have a nagging suspicion March is going to break the pattern.
