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

150 years, 1876 to 2025

A day with at least 91.3 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 Moruya Heads Pilot Station: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	91.3 mm (3.6 in)
5 years	127.1 mm (5.0 in)
10 years	152.9 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, 150 years of values from 1876 to 2025.

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: 275.3 mm (10.8 in) in 1925; 271.3 mm (10.7 in) in 1945; 259.4 mm (10.2 in) in 1977.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Moruya Heads Pilot Station, at 2011. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2011 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Moruya Heads Pilot Station, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
2011	-0.2	-0.4	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.

Climate Twins

2010 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2010 to 2025, Moruya Heads Pilot Station had a mean temperature of 16.5 C (61.7 F) and 953.3 mm (37.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Lucas Heights (Ansto) (Australia, 220 km away), Nowra Ran Air Station (Australia, 113 km away) and Cedara (South Africa, 10,402 km away).

Climate twins of Moruya Heads Pilot Station: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2010 to 2025 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Lucas Heights (Ansto)	Australia	220 km (137 mi)	16.9 C (62.3 F)	1,031.6 mm (40.6 in)	0.85
Nowra Ran Air Station	Australia	113 km (70 mi)	16.3 C (61.4 F)	1,119.3 mm (44.1 in)	0.85
Cedara	South Africa	10,402 km (6,464 mi)	16.2 C (61.1 F)	841.9 mm (33.1 in)	0.88

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.
