TXx is the hottest daily maximum, TNn the coldest daily minimum, Rx1day and Rx5day the largest one-day and five-day rain totals, and CDD the longest run of days with less than 1 mm of rain. A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

97 years, 1925 to 2025

A day with at least 31.4 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 83.4 mm (3.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Bencubbin: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	31.4 mm (1.2 in)
5 years	43.3 mm (1.7 in)
10 years	52.0 mm (2.0 in)
25 years	63.8 mm (2.5 in)
50 years	73.3 mm (2.9 in)
100 years	83.4 mm (3.3 in)	Longer than the 97 years of record

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 97 years of values from 1925 to 2025.

A return level is an estimate. It is least reliable for the long periods, 50 and 100 years, and for any period longer than the record behind the fit, where the fit has to reach past the largest day actually observed. It is not a forecast.

The largest wettest-day totals in the fit: 93.0 mm (3.7 in) in 1953; 79.2 mm (3.1 in) in 1970; 78.2 mm (3.1 in) in 1971.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Bencubbin, at 2006. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2006 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Bencubbin, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
2006	-0.2	-0.4	possible	5

Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.

Climate Twins

2002 to 2020 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2002 to 2020, Bencubbin had a mean temperature of 19.0 C (66.1 F) and 287.8 mm (11.3 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Dalwallinu Comparison (Australia, 129 km away), Wongan Hills (Australia, 109 km away) and Port Augusta Power Station (Australia, 1,893 km away).

Climate twins of Bencubbin: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2002 to 2020 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Dalwallinu Comparison	Australia	129 km (80 mi)	19.0 C (66.2 F)	364.0 mm (14.3 in)	0.57
Wongan Hills	Australia	109 km (68 mi)	18.6 C (65.5 F)	372.2 mm (14.7 in)	0.64
Port Augusta Power Station	Australia	1,893 km (1,176 mi)	19.1 C (66.4 F)	254.3 mm (10.0 in)	0.69

Twins are stations, not cities. A twin is one of the three stations at least 100 km away whose earlier climate is closest to this station's recent one, so a close match does not mean the two places look alike in other ways. A station move or a gap in a record can change that station's averages. The list describes past climate; it is not a forecast and does not say what caused any change. How twins are found, and a search for any station.
