Extreme weather events (‘hot’ days)

SoE2017: Extreme weather events ('hot' days)

Created 04/05/2025

Updated 04/05/2025

Hot day frequency for selected weather stations, compiled using data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Australian Climate Observations Reference Network — Surface Air Temperature (ACORN–SAT) dataset (to 2017) as at February 2018. Subsequent updates to data may result in minor changes to some values. For each location the number of hot days per year are plotted for the extent of the ACORN–SAT dataset records, years with more than 5 days of missing data not being included. Rolling 10-year averages are plotted only if there are 10 consecutive years of annual data.
