Australian Climate Summaries

Climatological summaries including means, extremes and 10th and 90th percentiles (where appropriate) have been calculated for over 1600 sites around Australia including nearby islands and Antarctic stations. Rainfall summaries for more than 10,000 sites are also included.
 
The climatological summaries include those data provided on the Bureau of Meteorology website, as well as a number of additional statistics and sites. Annual and monthly statistics are provided. Included since the last version are climate summaries over the standard thirty year reference period 1961 - 1990 for 480 stations. Rainfall summaries have also been added for more than 10,000 sites, most of which only measure rainfall.
 
All climate sites have maximum temperature and rainfall statistics, and most will have 9am and 3pm (dry bulb) air temperature and relative humidity averages. Where these elements have been measured, data about cloud cover, sunshine duration, wind speed, maximum wind gust and evaporation are also provided. Notes (pdf, 168kbyte) are provided.
 
Data are provided in various formats. Both the climate summaries (full and thirty year) and rainfall summaries provide the information as data files in a comma separated format (pdf) suitable for importing into a spreadsheet. The climate summaries are also provided in a pdf document, and text files similar to the climate averages on this web site.
