National Daily Weather Summary

Weather, Climate and Site News

BoM issues Special Climate Statement on ongoing heatwaves. Thu 24 Jan 2018 The Bureau of Meteorology has issued an updated Special Climate Statement (SCS) bringing its coverage of the prolonged heatwave gripping much of the country up to 20 January. Bureau SCS's are very detailed analyses of major events, usually ones that cover multiple states or territories. As you will know if you follow the records sections in AWN's Daily Weather Summaries, the sequence of heatwaves that began in early December and shows no signs of abating has been unprecedented in many respects. The SCS details these, looks at the heatwaves so far, examines the climatic drivers causing them and provides a comparison with past heatwaves in Australia's history.

Widespread heatwaves during December 2018 and January 2019 is available here (pdf), and a list of all SCSs is here.
