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.

Rainfall Return Levels

119 years, 1884 to 2025

A day with at least 29.3 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 93.4 mm (3.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Meningie: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	29.3 mm (1.2 in)
5 years	41.0 mm (1.6 in)
10 years	50.6 mm (2.0 in)
25 years	65.3 mm (2.6 in)
50 years	78.3 mm (3.1 in)
100 years	93.4 mm (3.7 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 119 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: 112.0 mm (4.4 in) in 1985; 102.4 mm (4.0 in) in 1972; 91.4 mm (3.6 in) in 1966.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Meningie, at 1997. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1997 ran 0.1 C (0.3 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Meningie, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1997	-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

2007 to 2021 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2007 to 2021, Meningie had a mean temperature of 16.1 C (60.9 F) and 490.1 mm (19.3 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Elliston (Australia, 466 km away), Esperance Downs Research STN (Australia, 1,620 km away) and Adelaide Airport (Australia, 111 km away).

Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Elliston	Australia	466 km (290 mi)	16.4 C (61.5 F)	445.9 mm (17.6 in)	0.58
Esperance Downs Research STN	Australia	1,620 km (1,007 mi)	16.3 C (61.3 F)	499.3 mm (19.7 in)	0.59
Adelaide Airport	Australia	111 km (69 mi)	16.4 C (61.5 F)	447.5 mm (17.6 in)	0.60

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.
