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

72 years, 1945 to 2017

A day with at least 47.2 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 128.7 mm (5.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Burnie (Round Hill): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	47.2 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	62.7 mm (2.5 in)
10 years	75.2 mm (3.0 in)
25 years	93.8 mm (3.7 in)
50 years	110.1 mm (4.3 in)
100 years	128.7 mm (5.1 in)	Longer than the 72 years of record

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 72 years of values from 1945 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: 107.2 mm (4.2 in) in 1956; 106.4 mm (4.2 in) in 1989; 98.3 mm (3.9 in) in 1946.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Burnie (Round Hill), at 2013. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2013 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
2013	-0.4	-0.7	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

2003 to 2017 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2003 to 2017, Burnie (Round Hill) had a mean temperature of 13.7 C (56.6 F) and 847.5 mm (33.4 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Eddystone Point (Australia, 202 km away), Flinders Island Airport (Australia, 205 km away) and Wonthaggi (Australia, 275 km away).

Climate twins of Burnie (Round Hill): stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2003 to 2017 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Eddystone Point	Australia	202 km (126 mi)	13.6 C (56.5 F)	813.4 mm (32.0 in)	0.41
Flinders Island Airport	Australia	205 km (127 mi)	13.7 C (56.7 F)	768.0 mm (30.2 in)	0.42
Wonthaggi	Australia	275 km (171 mi)	14.0 C (57.2 F)	917.0 mm (36.1 in)	0.57

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.
