Has the climate in Dubbo changed?

Dubbo has warmed about 1.7°F since 1993.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Dubbo's official daily weather records, 1993–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Dubbo's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Australia — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.

Each bar is one year. Most recent years sit above the older ones. Some recent years still came in cool — warming is a slope, not a straight climb.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 3 more freezing nights a year and about 18 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Dubbo Airport Aws, a weather station, about 4 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
