But seriously folks - back on extreme events locally (sorry UK), it appears extremes are changing. Gee maybe it's all true after all chrisgo? In Australia, trends in extremes of both temperature and precipitation are very highly correlated with mean trends. Annually, the spatial correlation between trends in extremes and trends in the mean is stronger for maximum temperature than for minimum temperature. However, this relationship is reversed in winter, when minimum temperatures show the stronger correlations. Analysis of the rate of change of extremes and means across Australia as a whole shows most stations have greater absolute trends in extremes than means. There is also some evidence that the trends of the most extreme events of both temperature and precipitation are changing more rapidly in relation to corresponding mean trends than are the trends for more moderate extreme events.

BTW for Canberra the BOM rainfall records of Yass are very interesting. Rog you say 75 years do you have accessible data? Thanks Gavin I was looking for a long daily record. 100 years would be good.

Rog you say 75 years do you have accessible data?
