Data source & coverage — ERA5 reanalysis, 2016–2025 (10 years)details
- Source
- ERA5 reanalysis, accessed via the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Climate Data Store
- Data type
- Reanalysis — a physically consistent reconstruction combining a forecast model with historical observations, not a live station reading or a forecast
- Coverage
- 2016–2025 (10 years) for Australia
- Location
- Willaston — -34.500°, 138.750°, ERA5 grid cell center, 9.6 km from requested point
- Time zone
- Australia/Adelaide
- What's shown here
- The hourly and daily record for 31 December 2016 specifically — not a monthly average. See the Willaston climate overview for typical conditions.
- Spatial resolution
- 0.25° (~25 km) distributed grid — ERA5's native model resolution is finer; this is the publicly distributed regridded product
- Version / refreshed
- Methodology v2026.07 · data last refreshed December 31, 2025
- Limitations
- A model reconstruction, not a station observation — hyper-local extremes (a single storm cell, an urban heat pocket) can differ from a nearby gauge. See the full methodology.
