The Monthly Weather Review - Victoria is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's VictoriaClimate Services Centre.

It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Victoriafor 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 Victoria makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past 24hours 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.

Mean temperatures are the average of the daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures.

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 all availableyears of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 10 years of record, as they cannotthen be calculated reliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from available observations from all available years of record.The number of years can vary substantially from site to site.

Significant weatherFlooding in Gippsland and the northeastEarly March saw significant flooding experiencedacross north-eastern and Gippsland regions ofVictoria as an extremely moist, tropical airmass andlow pressure trough combined to produce recordrainfalls. The first burst of rainfall occurred duringthe 29th of February and the1st of March with anumber of locations recording their highest dailyrainfall for March on record in the 24 hours to 9 amand one location (Tallangatta) receiving it's highestdaily rainfall on record. Numerous river systemswent into flood and significant overland flooding wasobserved in the Goulburn Valley area. Following areprieve from rainfall on the 2nd of March, furtherwidespread heavy rainfall again impacted the Stateduring Saturday the 3rd and Sunday the 4th of Marchwith the northeast again seeing the heaviest falls.Further daily record rainfalls for the month of Marchwere observed, and again a highest daily rainfall onrecord was recorded, this time at Nariel Creek.Renewed stream rises were observed in alreadyflooded river systems. A few days later yet moreheavy rainfall affected Victoria, this time throughEast Gippsland, as an east coast low formed andonce again renewed stream rises were seen in riversystems.

By the end of the above period many locations in thenortheast of the State had broken previous recordsfor 7 day rainfall, some by as much as two times theprevious record. Record 7 day totals included525.0 mm at Mount Buffalo, 353.6 mm at Falls Creekand 345.8 mm at Chiltern. The SES received over3500 requests for assistance following the event withapproximately 250 homes damaged and 1000households displaced. As of the 19th of March, 1191relief payments had been made totalling nearly$1.1 m. Worst affected communities includedTallygaroopna, Numurkah and Nathalia.

Severe thunderstorms in the centraldistrictsInstability developed over the State on the 14thahead of an approaching trough positioned in theBight. Severe thunderstorms producing somedamaging wind gusts developed during theafternoon over central districts. The State EmergencyService received a number of callouts in Rochesterwhere a suspected microburst brought branches offtrees and some tiles off roofs while a 117 km/h windgust associated with a storm was recorded at PtWilson. Storms again developed on the 15th, mainlythrough central districts as the trough progressedacross the State.

Damaging wind gustsA strong cold front moved over Victoria during themorning of the 23rd with a vigorous south-westerlyflow developing in its wake. Damaging wind gusts inexcess of 90 km/h were recorded at a number of

locations particularly near the coast and in elevatedareas. The strongest wind gust was 133 km/h atWilsons Prom where the 10-minute mean windreached 76 km/h. Other strong gusts included107 km/h at Cape Otway, 96 km/h at Mt Gelibrand,93 km/h at Pound Creek and 91 km/h at St Kilda.

Synoptic summarySynoptic patterns during the month across theAustralia – New Zealand region were driven by apersistent high latitude ridging and more intensetropical cyclonic systems than usual. "Dips" in theeasterlies associated with the tropical systems aretypical of La Niña events. These affected Victoria, soallowing for a series of significant rainfall events,especially early in the month, when many stationsbroke long-term daily rainfall records.
