Exceptionally warm night in eastern SA
Thu 30 Aug 2018

Minimum temperatures 10 to 15° above average were widespread from SW NT to the Adelaide area this morning 30 August. Northwesterly winds ahead of a strong cold front making its way across SA gave those in the capital a night that would be warm in mid-summer. BoM

Just one night after widespread record-setting low minimum temperatures in southeastern Australia, the raft of record high August minima in eastern SA on Thursday 30 August came as a shock. They were astonishing because of the amount by which old records were broken, even at some very long-established stations.

Adelaide's newly re-established West Terrace station, with 93 years of observations, broke its old record by 2.1° with a minimum of 19.0 breaking a record set in 1935
Whyalla AP recorded the state's highest minimum at 20.6°. This was 4.7° higher than its previous record in 31 years of observations and 14.7° above average.
Yongala (61-year history), Parafield Airport (62) and Adelaide Airport (64) all added between 1 and 2° to theirs. Yongala's ground minimum temperature was 4.2° above its previous 1979 record.
Full details of records are here.

Exceptionally hot day-time temperatures began building over southern WA the previous weekend and moved very slowly into SA last Monday 27^th. The static high over TAS and the southeastern states continued to draw warm dry northerlies into SA through Tuesday, and on Wednesday warm nights began in the state's west, setting August records at Tarcoola and Minnipa. By Thursday morning 30^th, a strong cold front was moving through the state ducting hot northwesterlies ahead of it from Central Australia to southeastern SA, with minimum temperature anomalies widely between 10 and 15° above average.

The cold front hit Adelaide around midday giving Adelaide Airport a gust of 93km/h, bringing down trees, branches and powerlines, and unroofing some buildings across the city. ABC News reported over 25,000 premises lost power. Strong winds raised dust across the state with gusts reaching 111km/h at Cape Willoughby on Kangaroo Island, 102km/h at Lameroo and 93km/h at Tarcoola and Kuitpo.

The strength of the frontal winds was due to the strong temperature difference across it. BoM SA posted Doppler radar imagery on Twitter showing widespread winds over 90km/h in the lower atmosphere at the time the front was crossing the metro area.

Thu 30 Aug 2018 Cold nights linger in the SE. Meanwhile, cold minima lingered at a few widely-spaced locations in southeastern states.

Mangrove Mountain, 20km NW of Gosford, set an all-time record low of -0.8 in 24 years of operation
Cootamundra Airport (23) broke the August record it set the previous morning with -7.0
Friendly Beaches (21) on Tassie's East Coast set a new August record of -0.3. Friendly Beaches AWS sits atop the sand dunes direcly behind the beach.
Warra, in the mountains west of Geeveston TAS also set an August record of -3.9° in its 14-year history. It is not certain from the record whether this occurred this morning or on the 29^th, which is why it is not in the records listing, but a look at the 10-minute temperature record suggests it was this morning.
