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
40 years with a frostAcross 40 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Curtin Springs falls on 6 August and the median first autumn frost on 21 June, which leaves a median of 320 days between them.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +5.7 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period | Recent period (1982 to 2017) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 6 August | n/a | 4 August | n/a | -3.9 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 21 June | n/a | 22 June | n/a | +1.8 days per decade |
| Growing days | 320 days | n/a | 328 days | n/a | +5.7 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
68 years, 1953 to 2025A day with at least 38.7 mm (1.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 123.1 mm (4.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 38.7 mm (1.5 in) | |
| 5 years | 60.1 mm (2.4 in) | |
| 10 years | 74.8 mm (2.9 in) | |
| 25 years | 93.8 mm (3.7 in) | |
| 50 years | 108.4 mm (4.3 in) | |
| 100 years | 123.1 mm (4.8 in) | Longer than the 68 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, 68 years of values from 1953 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: 104.6 mm (4.1 in) in 1982; 98.4 mm (3.9 in) in 1984; 96.8 mm (3.8 in) in 1967.
Climate Twins
2003 to 2017 against 1961 to 1990Over 2003 to 2017, Curtin Springs had a mean temperature of 22.3 C (72.1 F) and 237.0 mm (9.3 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Giles Meteorological Office (Australia, 349 km away), Finke Post Office (Australia, 284 km away) and Quilpie Airport (Australia, 1,258 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giles Meteorological Office | Australia | 349 km (217 mi) | 22.4 C (72.4 F) | 261.0 mm (10.3 in) | 0.55 |
| Finke Post Office | Australia | 284 km (176 mi) | 22.0 C (71.6 F) | 224.4 mm (8.8 in) | 0.60 |
| Quilpie Airport | Australia | 1,258 km (782 mi) | 22.3 C (72.1 F) | 353.1 mm (13.9 in) | 0.73 |
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.
