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

48 years with a frost

Across 48 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Quirindi Post Office falls on 10 September and the median first autumn frost on 23 May, which leaves a median of 260 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.7 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Quirindi Post Office
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1988 to 2020)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	10 September	n/a	3 September	n/a	-2.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	23 May	n/a	24 May	n/a	-1.3 days per decade
Growing days	260 days	n/a	267 days	n/a	+0.7 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 2023

A day with at least 54.7 mm (2.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 117.4 mm (4.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Quirindi Post Office: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	54.7 mm (2.2 in)
5 years	71.7 mm (2.8 in)
10 years	82.8 mm (3.3 in)
25 years	96.9 mm (3.8 in)
50 years	107.2 mm (4.2 in)
100 years	117.4 mm (4.6 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 2023.

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: 136.7 mm (5.4 in) in 1921; 104.6 mm (4.1 in) in 1898; 99.6 mm (3.9 in) in 2002.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Quirindi Post Office, at 1981 and 1991. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1981 ran 0.1 C (0.2 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1991 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Quirindi Post Office, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1981	+0.1	+0.2	possible	5
1991	-0.2	-0.4	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

2004 to 2020 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2004 to 2020, Quirindi Post Office had a mean temperature of 17.5 C (63.6 F) and 637.3 mm (25.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Dubbo (Darling Street) (Australia, 212 km away), Parkes (Macarthur Street) (Australia, 298 km away) and Condobolin Retirement Village (Australia, 375 km away).

Climate twins of Quirindi Post Office: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2004 to 2020 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Dubbo (Darling Street)	Australia	212 km (132 mi)	17.3 C (63.1 F)	628.8 mm (24.8 in)	0.66
Parkes (Macarthur Street)	Australia	298 km (185 mi)	17.1 C (62.9 F)	650.3 mm (25.6 in)	0.74
Condobolin Retirement Village	Australia	375 km (233 mi)	17.7 C (63.8 F)	495.2 mm (19.5 in)	0.83

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.
