Has the climate in Yulara changed?

Yulara has warmed about 2°F since 1985.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Yulara's official daily weather records, 1985–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Yulara's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Australia.

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 34 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 29 years of daily observations at Yulara Aero, a weather station, about 6 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
