The annual mean temperature here has risen by 0.2 C (0.2 to 0.2) per decade over 1940 to 2025. In Fahrenheit: 0.4 F (0.3 to 0.4) per decade. The slope is a straight line fitted to 86 complete years; the brackets give its 95 percent interval.
| Measure | Per decade (C) | Per decade (F) | Period | Complete years | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 0.2 C (0.2 to 0.2) per decade | 0.4 F (0.3 to 0.4) per decade | 1940 to 2025 | 86 | Rise |
| Mean daily maximum | 0.2 C (0.1 to 0.2) per decade | 0.3 F (0.2 to 0.4) per decade | 1940 to 2025 | 86 | Rise |
| Mean daily minimum | 0.2 C (0.2 to 0.3) per decade | 0.4 F (0.4 to 0.5) per decade | 1940 to 2025 | 86 | Rise |
A year is complete when all 12 months have at least 20 days of both daily maximum and daily minimum readings. The annual mean is the mean of the monthly means. The trend describes this one station over this period; it does not say what caused the change.

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
83 years, 1940 to 2025A day with at least 84.4 mm (3.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 322.8 mm (12.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 84.4 mm (3.3 in) | |
| 5 years | 128.2 mm (5.0 in) | |
| 10 years | 163.9 mm (6.5 in) | |
| 25 years | 218.3 mm (8.6 in) | |
| 50 years | 266.7 mm (10.5 in) | |
| 100 years | 322.8 mm (12.7 in) | Longer than the 83 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, 83 years of values from 1940 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: 348.0 mm (13.7 in) in 2013; 271.5 mm (10.7 in) in 1973; 219.0 mm (8.6 in) in 1978.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Rockhampton Aero, at 1971. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1971 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1971 | +0.2 | +0.4 | 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
2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2011 to 2025, Rockhampton Aero had a mean temperature of 23.5 C (74.3 F) and 814.7 mm (32.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Millaroo Dpi (Australia, 496 km away), Charters Towers Post Office (Australia, 569 km away) and Ayr Dpi Research STN (Australia, 527 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Millaroo Dpi | Australia | 496 km (308 mi) | 23.7 C (74.6 F) | 821.9 mm (32.4 in) | 0.36 |
| Charters Towers Post Office | Australia | 569 km (354 mi) | 23.8 C (74.8 F) | 673.9 mm (26.5 in) | 0.76 |
| Ayr Dpi Research STN | Australia | 527 km (327 mi) | 23.3 C (74.0 F) | 949.4 mm (37.4 in) | 0.79 |
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.
