January - Hobart, Tasmania

A very warm month with a mean anomaly of +1.7c above 1981-2010 or +2.0c above 1961-1990. This was the equal 4th warmest January in 137 years of records.

Mean maximum:  24.3  ( +2.1 )

Mean minimum:  13.8 ( +1.2 )

Rainfall:  34mm ( average 47mm )

Rain days ( +1mm ) :  5/from 5

A high pressure belt extended across Tasmania latitude with dry and calm weather til mid-month. The exception was a front on the 10th bringing 2mm. Maximum temperatures fluctuated between cooler south-east winds with high pressure centered just to the west and warmer northerly wind with high pressure centered just to the east. It was mostly sunny but smoke haze at times. At mid-month a low pressure trough influenced eastern Australia bringing humidity and storms as a high built to Tasmania's west bringing cool onshore winds locally with low cloud and periods of showers. High pressure moved to the south-east on the 21st with a warm and humid airflow followed by an overnight front with 25mm. The rest of the month was dry and becoming progressively warmer. High pressure approaching from the northwest brought mild west to north westerly winds and then very hot arid air from central Australia as high pressure moved to the northeast.
