“Severe Heat Wave.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
The Divisional Meteorologist for South Australia (Mr. E Bromley) reports: \u2014 The outstanding feature of the weather in March was the severe heat wave experienced during the first week.<\/div>\n
A slight coastal change occurred on the 3rd but elsewhere warm to hot weather prevailed throughout the State during the first six days, the heat being intense on several occasions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
The highest readings were 108 deg. at Nullarbor and Cook on the 1st, while Port Augusta regis-<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
tered, over the century each day, with an average for the six days of 105 deg.<\/div>\n
At Adelaide it was the warmest spell In March since 1914.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The advance of an energetic ‘high’ on the 10th brought a decided cool change, but only a little<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
scattered light rain. Several other brief warm spells prevailed during the month, and conditions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
at times were sultry, but no further intense heat was experienced.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Little rain of any consequence fell until the second half of the month, when there were two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
general downpours accompanied by thunderstorms The first rainstorm occurred on the 18th and 19th, and was due to the passage of shallow depression well placed between anti-cyclones,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
while the second was the result of a monsoon which passed rapidly across the State on the 25th. In both cases falls were light to moderate, with a few heavy amounts, the central lower Murray and south-east districts mainly benefiting.<\/div>\n
Except for a slight deficiency on Kangaroo Island and along portion of the southeast coast, the mean temperature for March was above the average throughout South and Central Australia.<\/div>\n
At several stations the surplus amounted to 2 deg., while at Alice Springs the positive variation was 3.6 deg.<\/div>\n
Over North Australia the month was somewhat cooler than usual, the subnormality at Darwin being 1 deg.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At Adelaide both the day and night temperatures averaged slightly in excess of normal, the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
mean of the maximum readings being half a degree above.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
