These maps are produced by the Bureau of Meteorology and show the average conditions across Australia for a range of climate variables. The maps are for:

The 30-year period from 1961 to 1990 is the standard reference period defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The standard reference period is used by the international community to maintain consistency in calculating climate statistics across the world and enables the direct comparison and analysis of climate statistics from different countries. The next standard reference period will be from 1991 to 2020. Most of the maps presented here use the 1961 to 1990 standard reference period as the base for calculating the climatic averages.
