Has the climate in Noosa Heads changed?

Noosa Heads has warmed about 1.1°F since 1996.

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Noosa Heads's official daily weather records, 1996–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 25 years of daily observations at Tewantin Rsl Park, a weather station, about 5 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
