Weather Summary for Serptember in Queenstown.

September was an extremely wet and changeable month in Queenstown with rainfall over double the normal, measuring 143.2 mm as against the average of just 69.8 mm.  It rained on 18 days of the month with the heaviest daily fall being 33.0 mm on the 6th.  August was a very dry month so September`s reading only brought the average up to normal for the year;  599.9 mm for the first 9 months.
 
Temperatures were once again above average, 9.1 degrees as against the average of 8.2 degrees, even though the middle of the month saw some very cold temperatures recorded.  On the 11th Queenstown had the lowest September daily maximum ever recorded 3.8 degrees.  Highest maximum was 21.8 degrees on the 29th.  Lowest minimum was minus 0.3 degrees on the 18th and heaviest frost was minus 5.9 degrees also on the 18th.  There were 14 days of ground frost during the month.
 
Not surprisingly with the excessive amount of rain, sunshine figures were well below average.  Normal for the month is 159.9 hours whereas only 122.4 hours was measured.  There were 8 days during the month when no sunshine was measured at all.
 
The majority of the rain occured during the first 11 days when 2 thunderstorms were observed, on the 6th and the 8th;   as well snow fell on the 11th.  During the evening of the 6th one of the most spectacular thunderstorms for many years lit up the skies with a display of forked lightning.  On the 11th it snowed in Queenstown but did not lie, although 6cms lay just down the road at Frankton.   All in all this was the most changeable month for Queenstown so far this year.
