Weather influences

• On the 1st and 2nd a high pressure system shifted eastwards in the Tasman Sea extended light winds
• On the 3rd warm air was drawn further eastwards into the region ahead of a surface trough over the interior
• On the 4th to 7th the warmth remained with the surface trough remaining slow moving before starting to move east on the 7th
• On the 8th the trough (along with an upper trough) shifted east and into the southeast. This allowed a southerly change and ridge of high pressure to shift northwards in its wake
• The ridge remained on the 9th with cool onshore flow as a high pressure system shifts east over south eastern Australia
• On the 10th the ridge and onshore flow remained with the high pressure system moving east into the Tasman Sea as another high pressure cell moves into south eastern Australia. A upper trough moved across the state also
• The 11th saw the high pressure system remaining slow moving in the Tasman Sea with a continuation of the onshore winds. Some instability in the region with the passage of an upper trough
• The ridge and onshore flow remained on the 12th and 13th as the high pressure system remains in place
• On the 14th the ridge started to ease with lighter winds
• The 15th saw the ridge ease further as a surface trough shifted eastwards over the interior with light winds
• On the 16th the surface trough remained slow moving
• The surface trough remained slow moving over the interior on the 17th and extended a band of instability into the region, before a late south easterly change associated with a coastal trough that moved northwards
• On the 18th the coastal trough moved further north while the surface trough shifted westwards as a new high pressure system over south eastern Australia extended onshore winds and ridge up the south coast of the state
• The ridge and onshore flow was maintained on the 19th
• The ridge decayed on the 20th with lighter winds
• On the 21st a surface trough and upper trough shifted east over the state with showers and thunderstorms extending into the region later in the day
• The surface trough cleared the south east late in the day on the 22nd with some further rainfall activity, followed by a dry air mass
• The surface trough shifted further north and east over the state on the 23rd, while extending south to an intense low pressure system moving into the Tasman Sea. This extended a dry air mass with fresh winds.
• This dry air mass remained on the 24th and 25th as the low pressure system tracked across the Tasman Sea
• A surface trough and low pressure system shifted east over the state on the 25th reaching the east late in the day. This extended a moist and unstable air mass eastwards
• On the 26th the surface trough contracted further northwards while the low pressure system in the Tasman maintained the dry air mass with hot conditions in west to south westerly winds
• A vigorous trough moved east over the state on the 27th extending some instability into the region late in the day along with dry air
• On the 28th a cold front shifted east and extended south to an associated deep low pressure system before moving off the coast while deepening. This also brought a hot and unstable air mass, followed by gusty winds and dry air behind the trough
• On the 29th the deep low pressure system shifted further eastwards with this maintaining a hot and dry air mass in the wake of the trough
• Weak high pressure systems in the Tasman Sea and in south eastern Australia extended a dry air mass.
