The Monthly Weather Review - Northern Territory is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology'sNorthern Territory Climate Services Centre.

It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in NorthernTerritory for the month.

To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although everyeffort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality controlprocedures have been carried out. Major discrepancies will be noted in later issues.

We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to the needs of its readers. If you have any comments orsuggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us:

Units of measurementExcept where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometres per hour(km/h).

Observation times and periodsEach station in Northern Territory makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over thepast 24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the followingconventions are used for assigning dates to the observations made:

Maximum temperatures are for the 24 hours from 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the afternoon of that day.

Minimum temperatures are for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the early morning of that day.

Daily rainfall is for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. This means a significant fraction of the rain may have occurred onthe previous calendar day.

Monthly rainfall is for the period from 9 am on the last day of the previous month to 9 am on the last day of this month.

Maximum daily wind gusts are in the 24 hours from midnight to midnight.

Climatological valuesThe climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from the years 1800to 2006. They are not shown for sites with less than 10 years of record in that time, as they cannot then be calculated reliably.Climatological extremes are generally taken from available observations from the years 1800 to 2006.

Significant weatherTropical Cyclone KirrilyA tropical low formed in the Arafura Sea, well northof the Australian coast on the 18th. The lowwandered slowly around northern waters for thenext week but initially remained weak. On the 26th,the low deepened as convective activity becamemore organised and small TC Kirrily formed brieflyclose to the eastern Indonesian Aru Archipelagoabout 700 km north-northeast of Darwin. Thecyclone weakened on the 28th as it moved acrossthe islands and the remnant tropical low driftedslowly west into the Banda Sea during late April,before dissipating on 3 May.

Thunderstorm at Bulman AWSOn the 10th, a thunderstorm produced 105 mm in 2hours at Bulman AWS in the Arnhem District, 72 mmof which fell in 1 hour.

Synoptic summaryThe monsoon trough remained north of theAustralian coast throughout the month, withnortheast to southeast winds prevailing over most ofthe Territory for most of April. Rainfall in thenorthern half during the middle two weeks of themonth was mostly associated with thunderstormactivity, sometimes enhanced by upper-atmospherefeatures. Several cloud-bands passed over southernparts of the Territory in conjunction withextra-tropical frontal systems. However, only a fewlocations recorded rainfall, mostly between the 15thand 25th.
