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

74 years with a frost

Across 74 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Dubbo (Darling Street) falls on 26 August and the median first autumn frost on 7 June, which leaves a median of 283 days between them.

In 1967 to 1998 the median growing season was 286 days. That is 12 days more than in 1921 to 1952.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.9 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Dubbo (Darling Street)
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1921 to 1952)	Recent period (1967 to 1998)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	26 August	30 August	29 August	1 day earlier	-0.6 days per decade
First autumn frost	7 June	4 June	12 June	8 days later	+1.3 days per decade
Growing days	283 days	274 days	286 days	12 days more	+1.9 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

130 years, 1871 to 2008

A day with at least 51.2 mm (2.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 141.7 mm (5.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Dubbo (Darling Street): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	51.2 mm (2.0 in)
5 years	69.0 mm (2.7 in)
10 years	83.0 mm (3.3 in)
25 years	103.7 mm (4.1 in)
50 years	121.5 mm (4.8 in)
100 years	141.7 mm (5.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 130 years of values from 1871 to 2008.

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: 202.2 mm (8.0 in) in 1955; 130.8 mm (5.1 in) in 1930; 113.5 mm (4.5 in) in 1914.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Dubbo (Darling Street), at 1987. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1987 ran 0.4 C (0.8 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1987	-0.4	-0.8	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.
