(It affects temperatures in the first half of the night even more - because city areas are slower to cool after sunset - which is why one often sees values of 5 C+ quoted in the literature when mean minima only show a difference of 1-2 C). - the heat island is also at its strongest under clear, calm conditions For this reason, one would not expect much of a heat island, per se, in central Brisbane maximum temperatures (there is, for example, no evidence of one in Melbourne when compared with Laverton and Moorabbin, which are a similar distance from the coast). The observed differences in maximum temperature are mainly to do with the increased distance from the coast. On the other hand, a heat island would be expected in minimum temperatures, especially on clear, calm nights, and hence the mean minimum temperatures would be expected to be higher in the city than at the airport. However, nights with high minimum temperatures tend to be cloudy, windy or both (although less so in Brisbane than in, say, Melbourne or Adelaide), so the heat island would be expected to break down on the warmest nights; the difference shows up most in the lower part of the frequency distribution, and in the time of year when dry air is most common - winter. This is illustrated (a little) by looking at the warmest and coolest night of each month of 2000 (I only have data to the nearest degree for the city). Highest Lowest AP city AP city January 25.2 25 16.7 17 February 23.0 24 15.8 17 March 22.6 23 17.2 18 April 21.7 20 13.3 15 May 21.0 21 4.3 7 June 14.3 15 2.5 6 July 12.7 13 2.9 3 August 14.0 14 4.2 6 (to 29th) It can be seen that there is little difference between the highest minima at the two sites, nor for the coolest minima in summer, but that the coolest nights tend to be 2-3 degrees cooler at the airport in the winter half of the year (with 28 July as a notable exception). A similar effect is visible at Perth.

This line of cold CBs is rather common during "cold airmass" activity just off the central district of Victoria. It is mostly found at night and morning and marks, what I believe is a complex interaction of katabatic outflow from the plains to the northwest and lee effects caused by the Otway ranges to the west. The line gradually disappears or merges with convective showers that develop later in the morning over the land. The appearance of this line of cold CBs also indicates the airmass is conditionally unstable and can be used as a forecasting tool for the occurrence of showers over land areas later in the day.Individual showers may occasionally produce lightning mostly in the earlier stages when updrafts are stronger, The residual snow and ice anvils may persist for hours as the drift eastward. The most favoured wind direction for this type of "local" effect is between 220 and 260 degrees and is most favoured during the winter half of the year .. Regards Clyve Herbert. P.S. Such cloud lines can also be found off shore of NSW During cold air outbreaks.. ----- Original Message ----- From: MSC - Jane ONeill To: Aussie Weather Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 7:53 AM Subject: aus-wx: WEATHER: Melbourne > Morning all, > > If you're in the southern parts of Victoria, look to the south - there was a > brilliant, TALL, Cb lurking in Bass Strait just to the SE of Melbourne at > 7.30AEDST, and a look at the radar shows a field of showers, some getting up > to 20-40mm/hr moving from the WSW.

The AP being right on the bay, typically has a very early sea breeze often by 10:00am. The time of arrival at the city depends upon various factors such as strength of any adverse flow, available insolation for local heating, etc., but you would expect it to be around 30 mins after the AP at earliest. Ipswich on the other hand is around 4 times the distance from the coast, thus a 2 hour delay would be more typical. Plus the seabreeze tends to weaken and warm up as it penetrates inland. On that basis I would expect the city max temps to remain significantly closer to the AP than Ipswich. Extreme days, i.e, over 36C for Brisbane, generally coincide with a strong dry NW flow. Such conditions tend to hold out the Sea Breeze at both the city & the AP, thus leading to little difference in max temp. Days when large differences will occur, will be days of high insolation where conditions are marginal, such that only a weak Sea Breeze occurs at the airport, which fails to make it to the city, or only does so after several hours delay. For min temps I suspect that the Heat Island effect for the city is balanced by distance from the coast. I suggest that the immediate environment is a greater factor. The airport is flat and very open, whereas the city is relatively well vegetated and built up. Thus I would expect the AP to be generally lower, except on windy or cloudy nights.

Apparently there is some meeting tomorrow where they will decide if they should pre-release some of the water. The river gauge at Albury apparently is kept under 1.9 to 2 metres if at all possible. With pre-releases this could reach 4 metres by some time next week, and if rainfall continues this week, especially with any heavy falls, then this level may reach 5 metres. Here at Rutherglen the average monthly rainfall has already been passed from the average of 61.8mm to 92mm up until yesterday. Basically the place is pretty water logged.

The day started with morning showers that cleared for a while,then the storms moved in. Several cells moved across Sydney but from where I was (artarmon) I couldn't see very well. At 2pm a cell with a very dark base passed just north of Artarmon heading roughly ENE. The clouds had a greenish tinge and about 2.30pm a suspicious lowering occurred. Unfortunately there were too many buildings in the way to see clearly, and I was stuck at work.Eventually most of the cells had moved on by the time I finished work.As I left work I phoned Jimmy Deguara and discovered that he was chasing the storms all the way to the coast and that he was very close to Artarmon. What brilliant timing! He picked me up at Artarmon station and the chase was on.First we went to Northbridge and got lost.........we could see part of the storm and it was beginning to really take off. We took some photos and then decided to go to north head at manly. If we were lucky,we just might see the rear end of what was beginning to look like a monster. We reached Manly and drove up to north head lookout and were greeted by quite a spectacle. This cell was huge.It was already far out to sea but we spent about an hour taking footage of some spectacular images.A cruise ship was leaving Sydney and it was quite a sight with the majestic cb in the background.The cloud structure was excellent and we observed many outflows and inflows and suspicious lowerings.Suddenly, I saw something prong-like coming out of a dark base.I said to Jimmy, "What do you make of that? " I pointed it out to him, he took a look and I could see him get all animated. Our pulses raced and we zoomed in for a better look.It looked like a funnel was just starting. It grew longer and and began to lower. I had just been joking to Jimmy a moment before, wishing that storm would drop an F5 on the ship! HA HA! Anyway, the funnel (or what looked like a funnel) stopped growing. It lingered for another 10 or 15 min and then disappeared. We will have to wait for the photos for proper analysis. About 10 min later, Jimmy saw what looked like a very ropy looking funnel in a different area.I saw it as well but wasn't sure. The problem we had was the fact that we were too far from the cell. We took a lot of footage so we shall see what comes of it. Eventually it got too dark so we called it quits and had a nice dinner at Manly. We scoffed down 2 gourmet pizzas and tried our luck with the waitress. (the waitress-chase report is not for this page and can be found on my personal web page) hehehehe.

Here in the Illawarra I am a little worried that if significant rainfall does not occur by late October / November we could be setting up for a potentially bad bushfire season. Just about every month this year has had below average rainfall. We have something like 500mm to catch up on to get average by the end of year. Very unlikely given that September and October are traditionally quite dry. It is what the farmers here call a green drought, the grass in green, but the creeks, rivers, etc are low. A week of hot dry west winds in Oct/Nov and it will be like tinder. By the way the wind has picked up over the last couple of hours, we have a 20-30knot W/SW at present.

I could also feel the table under my arms moving. This lasted for about 10 secs and was quite noticeable! Did anyone else notice this and was this an (mini :-) )earthquake? I wasn't sure if it was the floor slightly moving or just my adrenalin rushing, and there weren't any other things which I could see that would show motion. This occurred at 23:07EST. Wow, at the moment, I'm kinda on edge, and a bit shook up if you pardon the pun. Cheers -- Robert A.

Funny you should say that - seems we have had dozens of fires around my local area the last few weeks, and today i was actually in the right place at the right time and managed to get a few pictures http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/ben/fires2.jpg http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/ben/fires.jpg The smoke in the second pic was just awesome - that was quite a nasty (although small) fire And i also got some night shots (with the digi cam) of a fire VERY close to my suburb a few weeks back http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/ben/fire3.jpg http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/ben/fire1.jpg http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/ben/fire2.jpg The last two pics are closeups of small areas of grass on fire well away from the main fire *shrugs* Thought people may have been interested - although i can't see myself making a habit of going out and photographing these things - my dad owns a property NW of Brisbane, and i have been up there when he has burnt off some of the paddocks - when the wind got behind a fire one day it moved at a frightening pace, and burning to death is not the way i want to go out... :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Thompson" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 10:24 PM Subject: Re: aus-wx: River rises in NE Vic > Good to see you getting the rain.
