Agricultural Weather Observations Bulletin

About this table

• These observations have not been quality controlled.
• Reporting schedules:
  • These observations are updated daily around 10 am local time and again at 11:30 am to capture any late observations. Most stations report daily.
  • Maximum and minimum temperatures, rainfall, evaporation and wind run are for the period to 9 am on the day of reporting.
  • Soil temperatures and Delta-T are current at the time of observation.
  • If the period since the last evaporation observation is more than 24 hours, the time in hours since the last observation is shown in brackets after the station name.
  • Sunshine and solar radiation are for the previous day.
• 'Terr min' is Terrestrial minimum temperature. It is the lowest overnight temperature measured at ground level.
• 'Delta-T' is Wet Bulb Depression (current Air Temperature - Wet Bulb Temperature) at 9 am. About Delta-T
• 'Tce' is a trace (<0.1mm) of rainfall.
• 'Evaporation' is the amount of water loss by evaporation, measured in millimetres per day.
• 'Wind run' is the length of air passing the station each day.
• 'Sunshine hours' are the total number of hours of sunshine for that day.
• The solar radiation values shown are derived from the GOES-9 satellite.
• The Solar Radiation Map shows the areas where data is and is not available.
• Any use of the solar radiation estimates requires acknowledgement of the source of the raw satellite data. See satellite details.
• an empty cell indicates that no data is available.
