The weather experienced in South Australia during March was chiefly fine and under anti-cyclonic control.<\/div>\n
A severe heat wave which began near the close of February continued for the first week.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In this period most stations registered daily shade readings ranging from 95 to 105 deg., and at Port Augusta each of the first seven days of March was over 100 deg., the mean maximum for the week being 104 deg.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
At Adelaide the thermometer exceeded 90 deg. on 10 consecutive days (February 26 March 7), an exceptionally long heat spell for so late in the season.<\/div>\n
The persistent anti-cyclone over Eastern Australia responsible for the heat wave eventually moved away, and with the development of & ‘low’ over Tasmania on the 7th, cooler weather<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
became general.<\/div>\n
Conditions, however, remained fine until the 12th when the passage of a shallow monsoonal depression brought light rain over most of the settled areas, but heavy with thunderstorms in the Upper Murray and adjacent districts, the highest gaugings being Overland Corner, 197 points, and Waikerie, 184 points During the next fortnight little change in pressure distribution occurred.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
