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 Murrurundi Post Office falls on 22 September and the median first autumn frost on 9 May, which leaves a median of 229 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 Murrurundi Post Office
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1986 to 2015)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	22 September	n/a	24 September	n/a	+1.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	9 May	n/a	9 May	n/a	+0.4 days per decade
Growing days	229 days	n/a	226 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

141 years, 1871 to 2017

A day with at least 61.2 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 148.6 mm (5.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Murrurundi 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	61.2 mm (2.4 in)
5 years	82.1 mm (3.2 in)
10 years	96.8 mm (3.8 in)
25 years	116.7 mm (4.6 in)
50 years	132.3 mm (5.2 in)
100 years	148.6 mm (5.9 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 141 years of values from 1871 to 2017.

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: 172.0 mm (6.8 in) in 1898; 132.1 mm (5.2 in) in 1955; 129.8 mm (5.1 in) in 1992.

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1980	-0.3	-0.5	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.
