Has the climate in Byron Bay changed?
Byron Bay has warmed about 1.7°F since 1993.
About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Byron Bay'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.
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.
Byron Bay's temperature, year by year
Average temperature for each year from 1993 to 2025.
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 27 years of daily observations at Ballina Airport Aws, a weather station, about 21 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
