January 2023 update SA *Forecast prepared between January 17th-19th 2023 Review: G’Day everyone, another update is due and although not a great deal has happened this month due to mostly stable conditions, there is some instability to come for the second half of the month. January to date has been mostly hot and dry with weak SW/S changes bringing fresh to strong and cooler winds but little to no rainfall before the high-pressure systems march east and the NE/N flow comes back with hot to very hot conditions. This oscillating pattern has been fairly consistent. There was some moisture fed in briefly on the 11th (day before I expected) with afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the Lower and Upper North and Flinders with some locally heavy dumps. This was the first attempt of moisture into the state and was quickly shut down. Temperatures are running slightly above average for January although there hasn’t been any truly extreme days of heat but some good runs above 30C for many area

Now a brief look back at December before we nut out the first month of 2023 and to be honest December was a fairly unspectacular month though that is what we expected and hoped for granted so many of you were busy doing the harvest (and some still are). For the most part we saw more settled conditions across the state compared to spring with a reset in the broadscale pattern. Thunderstorms still occurred however they were less widespread and severe
