Heatwave continues as further pulse of heat crosses the nation Sat 5 Jan 2019
Records fell again in the NT, SA, VIC and NSW as another pulse of heat crossed the country between Wednesday 2 and Saturday 5 January extending heatwave conditions across the SE quarter of the continent.
On Thursday 3 January, Central Australia and much of SA roasted once more, setting all-time records for heat in The Centre and in some cases breaking records set only five days ago. Alice Springs Airport equalled the 45.6° all-time record set on 29 December, but elsewhere in The Centre and western SA temperatures pushed into the 46s and 47s. Top temperatures were an all-time record 47.4° at Walungurru near the WA/NT border W of Alice Springs and 47.1 at Ceduna Airport on the coast of the Great Australian Bight, 18.4° above average.
Alice Springs Airport had nine days between 27 December and 4 January when top temperatures exceeded 43.0°, the longest run of consecutive days over 43.0 in nearly 80 years. Previously, the longest run was four, in 1960 and 2004. Up to Friday 4 January, the Airport recorded temperatures over 45.0 only five times, three in the previous week.
On Friday 4 January, the trough and frontal system ducting hot northwesterly winds before it brought maxima over 45° to most of eastern SA, SW NSW and NW VIC. Many locations in VIC registered their hottest January day on record with Walpeup in the state's west highest at 46.6. That was just 0.6° shy of the state January record of 47.2 set in Mildura in the lead-up to the 1939 Black Friday Bushfires. Major centres didn't fare much better with Mildura recording 46.4, Albury 43.7, Bendigo 44.5, Hobart Airport 35.6 and Melbourne Airport 43.4, a sizzling 16.9° above average. The cold change when it came through Melbourne couldn't be missed: the temperature at Olympic Park in central Melbourne dropped 15.3° in 10 minutes, settling over 25° below the maximum.
In TAS, a dramatic orange/brown pall of smoke was cast over Hobart from the Gell River fire, burning in inaccessible country NW of Mt Field National Park. The fire had burnt through over 150 sq km by Saturday 5th as 17 other fires burnt in the state.
In VIC, while rescuing kids from locked cars and people from being drowned at beaches kept emergency services busy, major fires burned at Rosedale, near Sale, and Strathbogie, SE of Euroa. Reuters and the ABC said that by Saturday 5th the Rosedale fire had burnt more than 100 sq km, and CFA helicopter photos showed the dramatic extent and intensity of the fire. Nearly 200 bushfires burnt across the state during Friday 4th.
By Saturday 5 January, the trough was moving through NSW pushing the heat NE towards QLD. Minimum temperatures were high enough in the Central West and on the SW Slopes to set new January record warm nights at stations with 15 tp 25-year histories, though Tumbarumba had its highest January minimum in 52 years with 25.9°. Many inland locations didn't see the temperature fall below 30. As often happens ahead of a front, Sydney had a hot day with maxima of 40.3° both at the Airport and Richmond, while Newcastle also sweated with a maximum of 40.9 at Williamtown.
