Finally... the brutal 'build up' of Oct-early Jan fucked off and we had a well above average month of monsoonal rainfall ! What a difference a few weeks makes.... the first week of Jan, Darwin Airport recorded 5 days +35c.... previous record only 2 such days in January. Since the 9th, we have has 22 consecutive days of rain and subsequently well above average rainfall ( and below average max temps ). In fact Jan 2024 was below the long term mean for max temps.... 31.6c ( -0.2c below average ). The western and south western Top End were impacted by a slow moving tropical low depression system md January, with some sites recording over a 1000mm ( 40") for the month and record flooding. The main North-South Highway and Railway were washed out and closed, the Victoria Highway to WA is still closed ( 2 weeks now. ) A completely different story over the eastern Top End with Gove only recording 333mm so far this wet season , as well as weeks of +35c temps, well above the norm... Alice Springs has endured a relatively typical January re rainfall; 40mm almost right on average. Max temps running +2.9c above the long term mean and mins +2.6c... so a hot month with 12 days +40c    Rainfall - 531.6mm falling on 27 days ( long term mean 429.8mm) Highest daily fall - 69.0mm on the 8th Max temps - 31.6cc av ( long term mean 31.8c ) Highest max - 35.6c on the 2nd. Lowest max - 28.2c on the 25th Min temps - 25.6c av ( long term mean 24.9c ) Highest min - 29.9c on the 1st. Lowest min - 22.6c on the 30th.      Rainfall - 40.2mm falling on 8 days ( long term mean 42.9mm) Highest daily fall - 20.2mm on the 8th Max temps - 39.3c av ( long term mean 36.4c) Highest max 42.9c on the 24th. Lowest max 34.3c on the 20th. Min temps - 24.2c av ( long term mean 21.6c ) Highest min 29.6c on the 29th. Lowest min 16.6c on the 1st.   |

Synopsis: A bit more interesting than the past few months. The first half of the month was fairly unsettled, with some days of Hurricane Mcghee tossed into the mix. Thereafter, a cold snap brought the coldest temps of winter thus far, followed by an anomalous warm spell with the third January of the 2020s to see a temp at or above 80°F. In between all that, there were plenty of sunny cool crisp days and not much in the way of cold overcast. All-in-all, not a bad winter month at all.

January was an average month—median was exactly average. I missed the first third but once I got back it was a great month with a short lived extreme cold snap and then a long period of mild, pleasant weather.

January was a serious mixed bag, with the unseasonal mildness of Nov/Dec continuing for the first few days of the year, then a brutal cold snap dominated the middle of the month, followed by another wave of unseasonal mildness. We went from a snowless October-like landscape, to proper mid-winter scenery, to March-like snow melt and messiness all in a few weeks, and we had an even bigger spread between record highs/lows than usual - a 47.8C difference between the warmest and coldest temperatures recorded in the month, and a 41.3C difference between the warmest and coldest highs. Definitely a bit of a roller coaster ride! Average high: -10.8C (normal: -10.1C) Average low: -19.4C (normal: -20.7C) Mean temperature: -15.1C (normal: -15.5C) Warmest high: 8.3C (Jan 30th) Warmest low: -1.6C (Jan 30th) Coldest high: -33.0C (Jan 13th) Coldest low: -39.5C (Jan 12th) Precipitation total: 5.6mm (normal: 14.8mm) Precipitation days: 4 (normal: 10.3)  |

Essendon January 2024 Summary:Average max: 26.0°C (-1.5°C) Average mean: 20.9°C (-0.4°C) Average min: 15.7°C (+0.7°C) Max high: 34.3°C (12th) Max low: 21.8°C (8th) Min high: 20.2°C (21st) Min low: 10.6°C (27th) Precipitation: 94.0mm (221.2% of avg. precip) Precip days: 9 Precip days (>1mm): 6 Sun hours: 232.8hrs (86.0% of avg sun hours) Highest wind gust: 70km/h from the W (18th) While there is nothing different to say about this month compared to the past few months, it should be noted how stable the summer was. Considering the average of 26°C, the highest max was 34.3°C and the lowest max was 20.2°C. Ridiculously stable for Melbourne. The highest maximum being 34.3°C is the lowest value since around the 70s, at least for Essendon (which is missing data from 1972-2003). Melbourne Airport has a 'highest max' of 34.7°C in Jan 1986 and 32.0°C in Jan 1984, so that was likely the last time we had the hottest temperature of January being so low. Even with such a mediocre month, it is pleasing to see a lack of maximums below 20°C. Even though 19°C and 20°C are effectively the same thing, it just looks nicer and I hope this trend continues.
