MEDIA RELEASE - QUEENSLAND REGIONAL OFFICE

Wet June brings record cold temperatures for Queensland
Queensland has had one of its wettest June's on record with unseasonal
rainfall in the northern tropics leading to record totals in many
places. Georgetown with 98.1 mm (average 10.5 mm, 136 years of
record), Richmond with 164.3 mm (average 15.8 mm, 117 years of
record), Chillagoe with 105 mm (average 18.4 mm, 106 years of record)
and Townsville with 110 mm (average 21.1 mm, 67 years of record) all
reported their wettest June on record.

A series of cloud bands, which brought widespread rainfall, also kept
daytime temperatures well below average with record low maximum
temperatures reported across much of the state.

Taking the state as whole, and based on figures since 1950, the
average maximum temperature for the month was the lowest on record. A
cold outbreak on the 20th and 21st of the month combined with the
cloud cover to see new daily maximum temperatures for June recorded at
a number of locations. These include Boulia with 9.0oC (average
23.3oC, 119 years of record), Richmond with 11.2oC (average 26.1oC,
114 years of record), Burketown with 13.4oC (average 28.0oC, 108 years
of record), Mt Isa with 9.4oC (average 24.9oC, 41 years of record),
and Townsville with 13.9oC (average 25.6oC, 67 years of record).

While above average rainfall was recorded in Central and Southeast
Queensland during June, longer-term rainfall deficiencies remain in
these areas with well below average totals for the year to date.

More details, including a full list of new record rainfall and
temperature figures, are available in the Queensland Climate Summary
for June at http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/curren....summary.shtml.
