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

104 years, 1900 to 2003

A day with at least 90.5 mm (3.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 245.0 mm (9.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Jervis Bay (Point Perpendicula: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	90.5 mm (3.6 in)
5 years	126.8 mm (5.0 in)
10 years	152.7 mm (6.0 in)
25 years	187.8 mm (7.4 in)
50 years	215.7 mm (8.5 in)
100 years	245.0 mm (9.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 104 years of values from 1900 to 2003.

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: 316.7 mm (12.5 in) in 1961; 206.2 mm (8.1 in) in 1973; 198.6 mm (7.8 in) in 1934.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Jervis Bay (Point Perpendicula, at 1995. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1995 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Jervis Bay (Point Perpendicula, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1995	-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.
