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
55 years with a frost
Across 55 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Cobar Post Office falls on 14 August and the median first autumn frost on 19 June, which leaves a median of 303 days between them.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by 0.0 days per decade at this station.

Rainfall Return Levels
83 years, 1881 to 1965

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 1881 to 1965.
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: 114.3 mm (4.5 in) in 1959; 113.3 mm (4.5 in) in 1891; 78.7 mm (3.1 in) in 1911.
