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

46 years with a frost

Across 46 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Tocumwal Airport falls on 25 August and the median first autumn frost on 10 June, which leaves a median of 291 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -3.4 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Tocumwal Airport
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1989 to 2020)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	25 August	n/a	26 August	n/a	+6.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	10 June	n/a	15 June	n/a	+2.9 days per decade
Growing days	291 days	n/a	293 days	n/a	-3.4 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

101 years, 1898 to 2020

A day with at least 39.5 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 91.8 mm (3.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Tocumwal Airport: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	39.5 mm (1.6 in)
5 years	53.5 mm (2.1 in)
10 years	62.8 mm (2.5 in)
25 years	74.5 mm (2.9 in)
50 years	83.2 mm (3.3 in)
100 years	91.8 mm (3.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 101 years of values from 1898 to 2020.

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: 98.3 mm (3.9 in) in 1918; 95.3 mm (3.8 in) in 1955; 84.6 mm (3.3 in) in 2012.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Tocumwal Airport, at 1991 and 2010. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1991 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2010 ran 0.1 C (0.3 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Tocumwal Airport, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1991	-0.2	-0.3	likely	5
2010	-0.1	-0.3	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

2006 to 2020 against 1961 to 1990

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.
