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
132 years, 1888 to 2020A day with at least 63.4 mm (2.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 174.5 mm (6.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 63.4 mm (2.5 in) | |
| 5 years | 90.3 mm (3.6 in) | |
| 10 years | 109.2 mm (4.3 in) | |
| 25 years | 134.4 mm (5.3 in) | |
| 50 years | 154.1 mm (6.1 in) | |
| 100 years | 174.5 mm (6.9 in) |
The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 132 years of values from 1888 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: 176.5 mm (6.9 in) in 1936; 167.6 mm (6.6 in) in 1922; 158.8 mm (6.3 in) in 1890.

No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.
Climate Twins
2008 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990Over 2008 to 2024, Barcaldine Post Office had a mean temperature of 24.1 C (75.3 F) and 517.6 mm (20.4 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Hughenden Post Office (Australia, 322 km away), Mount Isa Aero (Australia, 678 km away) and Winton Post Office (Australia, 264 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hughenden Post Office | Australia | 322 km (200 mi) | 24.4 C (75.9 F) | 512.7 mm (20.2 in) | 0.61 |
| Mount Isa Aero | Australia | 678 km (421 mi) | 24.6 C (76.2 F) | 406.4 mm (16.0 in) | 0.74 |
| Winton Post Office | Australia | 264 km (164 mi) | 24.3 C (75.8 F) | 387.5 mm (15.3 in) | 0.75 |
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.
