In the first week of the month the Hinterland experienced wintry weather resulting from an extensive high covering the whole of Australia and a 992hPa low in the Tasman Sea. The two systems interacted to bring strong Antarctic winds up the east coast and on to our Ranges On most days we had long hours of Bright Sunshine and good visibility. The only exception was on Thursday 2nd when strong winds polluted the atmosphere with a dust storm. For most of the month we had long hours of sunshine and clear blue skies until the final few days when controlled back-burning of under growth brought wide-spread smoke trapped under a temperature inversion. Total July rainfall was 16.4 mm, representing a 7 mm decrease on the 116 year average for the region. However, the annual rainfall is on track showing a slight increase over the 7 month norm.
