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

38 years with a frost

Across 38 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Hawker falls on 24 August and the median first autumn frost on 23 June, which leaves a median of 305 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.5 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Hawker
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1978 to 2023)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	24 August	n/a	22 August	n/a	+2.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	23 June	n/a	29 June	n/a	+1.6 days per decade
Growing days	305 days	n/a	309 days	n/a	-0.5 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

136 years, 1884 to 2025

A day with at least 37.4 mm (1.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 132.4 mm (5.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Hawker: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	37.4 mm (1.5 in)
5 years	57.1 mm (2.2 in)
10 years	72.1 mm (2.8 in)
25 years	93.8 mm (3.7 in)
50 years	112.1 mm (4.4 in)
100 years	132.4 mm (5.2 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 136 years of values from 1884 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: 173.0 mm (6.8 in) in 1989; 125.4 mm (4.9 in) in 2007; 120.7 mm (4.8 in) in 1931.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Hawker, at 1974. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 4 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1974 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Hawker, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1974	-0.3	-0.5	possible	4

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

2005 to 2023 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2005 to 2023, Hawker had a mean temperature of 18.2 C (64.8 F) and 284.2 mm (11.2 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Ivanhoe Post Office (Australia, 562 km away), Broken Hill (Patton Street) (Australia, 286 km away) and Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport (Australia, 1,616 km away).

Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Ivanhoe Post Office	Australia	562 km (349 mi)	18.1 C (64.6 F)	298.6 mm (11.8 in)	0.52
Broken Hill (Patton Street)	Australia	286 km (178 mi)	18.0 C (64.3 F)	288.2 mm (11.3 in)	0.81
Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport	Australia	1,616 km (1,004 mi)	18.5 C (65.2 F)	270.6 mm (10.7 in)	0.82

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.
