June in Malta was warmer than average, with around average sunshine. Rainfall was once again below average, but we did have a rare for June thunderstorm. The month ended with a very hot spell, giving the highest June temperatures for several years. The Met Office station at Selmun recorded a high of 40C on the 30th...
Below are the stats from my PWS in St. Paul's Bay on the NE coast:
Average High: 31.5C (+1.2C)
Average Low: 23.7C (+1.7C)
Overall Mean: 27.6C (+1.4C)
Overall a warm month, 2.6c warmer than our rusty 71-00 average, but it was mostly because of the highs, the lows remained within a reasonable range thanks to some cool mornings at the beginning of the month
Extremely dry, for both precipitation and relative humidity. Many low dewpoint days (i.e., below 10c). Windy and sunny too, but no stats about this as usual.
Data for Australian capital cities, each of these are the "official" stations for each city, except Adelaide, which was the official station until recently. Hopefully all the data is correct:
Humidity is 3pm, rainfall days are 0.2mm+
Sydney for comp, even though I've already posted it. It's the cloudiest capital city of the year so far!
Melbourne sun data comes from Melbourne Airport, which is considerably further inland than the CBD, so I'm not too sure about attaching that data to this station, but there's nowhere else that records sun in Melbourne.
The main Brisbane station is missing two rain days in March, which just happened to be the two days that Cyclone Debbie affected the city, so I used the data from two airport stations (Brisbane Airport and Archerfield Airport) because they're both about the same distance from the CBD, but in NE and SW directions respectively. And I averaged both days between the two stations and added them to the March rain total. It's probably not very accurate, but I'm not sure how else to do it. Brisbane Airport recorded about half as much rain as Archerfield Airport for those two days, so using just one of those stations would have skewed the data too much.
Perth
There's a new official station in Adelaide (the old West Terrace station brought back to life). Apparently the Kent Town station will continue to be in use for the rest of the year though, so I'm gonna stick with that until the end of the year, then switch to West Terrace/ngayirdapira next year. The name "ngayirdapira" translates to "concerning the sky" in the Kaurna language (the original inhabitants of the Adelaide area).
Hobart
Canberra is the only capital city with no sun data.
Data for Australian capital cities, each of these are the "official" stations for each city, except Adelaide, which was the official station until recently. Hopefully all the data is correct:
"A cloudband associated with a tropical low to the north brought many record high February daily rainfalls to the Perth area on the 10th; Perth Metro's 114.4 mm was its second highest daily rainfall for any month, only behind 120.6 mm on 9 February 1992"
Ninth June in a row above average. Screw it why don't we just go for 10? I honestly don't have any hope for this month anymore.
