SoE2020: Extreme weather events (days with ‘very heavy rainfall’)

Created 24/02/2025

Updated 24/02/2025

The frequency of days with ‘very heavy’ rainfall at selected weather stations were calculated from Australian Bureau of Meteorology High-Quality rainfall datasets. All datasets were current as at February 2020. Subsequent updates to data may result in minor changes to some values. For each location the number of days per year with ‘very heavy’ rainfall are plotted for the extent of the High-Quality Dataset records. Years with more than 5 days of missing data are not included. Rolling 10-year averages are plotted only if there are 10 consecutive years of annual data.
