October 2006 - An extraordinary month...
Weather Stuff:
Info from the BOM:
Tasmania had some quite extraordinary weather during October, all sorts of records were broken at different sites: hottest day, coldest night, warmest night and lowest rainfall.
October was a month punctuated with extreme events - a record hot day on the 12th with severe bushfires in the south and record cold days on the 16th, 21st, 28th and 29th with severe frosts reported in the north and snow to low levels reported across the state.
Many stations in the north had their lowest total October rainfall on record, including Burnie, Devonport, Scottsdale and Launceston. Devonport had less than 5 mm for the month, a tiny fraction of its October normal 66.9 mm.
Fishing Stuff:
Looking forward to Andrew W’s trip South. He has every piece of gear imaginable ready to go. I think the weather will play a big part to how well things go, hopefully the Easterly will stay away!
