Each chart shows one value per year; the dot marks the record year. 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.

Frost Dates and Growing Season

77 years with a frost

Across 77 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Gayndah Post Office falls on 3 August and the median first autumn frost on 24 June, which leaves a median of 325 days between them.

In 1952 to 2007 the median growing season was 348 days. That is 44 days more than in 1894 to 1927.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +6.2 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Gayndah Post Office
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1894 to 1927)	Recent period (1952 to 2007)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	3 August	9 August	28 July	12 days earlier	-2.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	24 June	8 June	10 July	32 days later	+3.7 days per decade
Growing days	325 days	304 days	348 days	44 days more	+6.2 days per decade

A frost day is a day with a daily minimum at or below 0 C (32 F). The last spring frost and the first autumn frost are the last and first such days of the cold season, and growing days are the days between them. A negative trend for the last spring frost means it comes earlier.

Rainfall Return Levels

107 years, 1888 to 2008

A day with at least 70.2 mm (2.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 201.6 mm (7.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Gayndah Post Office: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	70.2 mm (2.8 in)
5 years	97.4 mm (3.8 in)
10 years	118.2 mm (4.7 in)
25 years	148.3 mm (5.8 in)
50 years	173.6 mm (6.8 in)
100 years	201.6 mm (7.9 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 107 years of values from 1888 to 2008.

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: 185.4 mm (7.3 in) in 1929; 184.7 mm (7.3 in) in 1954; 179.3 mm (7.1 in) in 1958.
