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

47 years with a frost

Across 47 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Hyden falls on 12 September and the median first autumn frost on 14 June, which leaves a median of 286 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +4.3 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Hyden
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1993 to 2024)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	12 September	n/a	4 September	n/a	-3.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	14 June	n/a	14 June	n/a	+1.1 days per decade
Growing days	286 days	n/a	291 days	n/a	+4.3 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

95 years, 1929 to 2025

A day with at least 31.5 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 111.2 mm (4.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Hyden: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	31.5 mm (1.2 in)
5 years	46.3 mm (1.8 in)
10 years	58.2 mm (2.3 in)
25 years	76.4 mm (3.0 in)
50 years	92.5 mm (3.6 in)
100 years	111.2 mm (4.4 in)	Longer than the 95 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, 95 years of values from 1929 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: 105.0 mm (4.1 in) in 2011; 100.3 mm (3.9 in) in 1966; 91.8 mm (3.6 in) in 2000.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Hyden, at 1980. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1980 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Hyden, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1980	+0.3	+0.5	likely	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

2009 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2009 to 2024, Hyden had a mean temperature of 18.0 C (64.4 F) and 334.9 mm (13.2 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Merredin (Australia, 122 km away), Kellerberrin (Australia, 144 km away) and Southern Cross (Australia, 141 km away).

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.
