High Quality weather station audit

Broome Airport 3003 raw temperature audit

Station opened 11 August 1939 audit to 31 December 2011

(See also Broome Post Office 3002)

Broome Airport 3003 maximum temperature audit

At Broome Airport 3003 from 11 August 1939 to September 1972, whole .0 Fahrenheit degrees represented 16.1% of all maximum temperatures recorded.

1939-1972 represented 44.3% of the time span and had 34.3% of .0C and 27.5% of .5C maximum temperatures within the entire temperature record.

From 1972-2011, maximum temperature recordings of .0 Celsius degrees represented 10.7% of the total and .5C recordings represented 9.4% of the total of all fractions since 1972. Together, .0C and .5C represented 20.1% of all maximum temperatures recorded since metrication.
