An old mining settlement along the Eucumbene River; Kiandra lies at 36° S and is elevated by 1,395 m AMSL. The region receives frequent thunderstorms and heavy fog for most of the year, with cool lows year-round. B+ for me—excellent winters and precip pattern, though summers could certainly be warmer.  |

All the sun in the world can't save this dump.

E-. The sun hours and not extremely high rain days save it from an F.

E+ only redeeming features are the thunderstorms and the off-chance of some warmth in summer.

Too chilly in the summer... at least the day temperature looks guaranteed to be mild. D or D-.

Liveable but clearly not good enough.

What's the average snowfall there in winter? That winter precipitation looks ridiculously high with means around freezing, it probably gets quite a bit.
I give it a C. Certainly one of the most interesting climates in Australia, but the summers are really lacking.

C. The nights are too cold year-round and that's a lot of rain, but it gets a reasonable amount of sunshine as well, so those summer afternoons probably feel warmer than the temps suggest.

Intriguing climate for Aussie standards cos it's the closest thing to a continental climate under Koppen's scheme. It is also pretty sunny for what it's worth. So a solid D... I think this thread needs more votes/comments.  |

B. Good climate overall but summers are far too cool. Normally I wouldn't give a climate this cold such a high grade, but the precipitation pattern, relatively high sunshine and frequent thunderstorms make up for the lack of warmth.

I want an explanation of how the POR for records is smaller than the climate period for the box  |

Nice climate for Australia but too cool summers the record high is ridiculous? It seems too low for australia surely???

I want an explanation of how the POR for records is smaller than the climate period for the box This is actually a disturbingly common trend with BoM sites—perhaps largely on account of their ACORN-SAT v.1 and v.2 datasets wherein most station data prior to 1957, for whatever reason, haven't been digitised. Also, average temperatures only started from 1897 @ Kiandra, not 1866 (the latter being solely for precipitation). Kiandra's non-digitised heat and cold records are: 34.7° C in Jan 1939; and –20.6° C in Aug 1929. |

Extremely short PoR for record temps (1957–1974). Those extreme record maxima you see in coastal areas like Penrith are entirely due to a foehn effect—certainly not the norm across most of AU. You will notice very clearly that the more inland areas of NSW have milder summer records in relation to average maxima. |

D+ Too cool in summer, and temperatures aren't quite variable enough.
