Extreme weather events (‘hot’ days)

SoE2020: Extreme weather events (‘hot’ days)

Created 04/05/2025

Updated 04/05/2025

The frequency of ‘hot’ days at selected weather stations were calculated from Australian Bureau of Meteorology Australian Climate Observations Reference Network – Surface Air Temperature (ACORN-SAT) 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 ‘hot’ days per year are plotted for the extent of the ACORN-SAT 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.
