message: I just came from the Rome page and it uses (>1mm) for number of rainy days. By comparison this artificially inflates the figure (from the same source) by 50%. I tried to change it but it didn't work  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.150.64.245 (talk) 23:41, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't any inflation of the number of precipitation days. They may have used a lower threshold (I think >0.2 mm on the BoM page) since not all rainy days will result in precipitation greater than 1.0 mm. However, it is true that the number of rainy days is not consistent since different countries will use different thresholds (eg. >0.2 mm or >0.1 mm). Ssbbplayer (talk) 15:49, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rain days not consistent with other pages 

message: It would be nice if some comparisons with other world countries could be made in this article.
I don't have the knowledge about it, but it could make this article more interesting for people abroad Australia and also serve my own curiosity.

replies: text: That would be nice for a reader but it is comparing apples to oranges. Concerns about comparing cities have been raised up in certain articles such Talk#Climate of London. The major problems would be number of days with precipitation because different countries will use different thresholds to determine if a day has precipitation. For example, Environment Canada uses the 0.2 mm threshold while in the UK, Met Office uses the 1.0 mm threshold. Some countries use the 0.1 mm threshold (eg. Argentina and Mexico). For Australia, I am unsure although I think it is 0.2 mm. It is impossible to determine which cities are rainy or not. Sunshine is also measured differently with USA being notable in not using the Campbell-Stokes recorder; that is why their sunshine values tend to be higher. It would be wrong to say Sydney is less sunny than New York City (using the observatory data) because they measure sunshine differently. Although I would not suggest putting in statements to compare the climate between 2 different cities, it would be better for the reader to decide to compare the climate to other cities. Finally, the period of reference is different; some countries use 1981–2010, others use 1961–1990 while Australia uses the full period of reference, depending on how long the station has been opened.

thread_title:  Humidity 

message: I saw this by User:Meganesia and the reversal by User:Bidgee. While I'm not sure if there is a consensus in Australian articles over the humidity I do know that the 3:00 pm humidity is used in Canadian articles. For example see Vancouver#Climate and the source. I don't think I have seen a 24 hour average humidity. I think what is needed is something similar to the "|unit rain days=" so that you could put in something like "Mean 3pm relative humidity (%)".

replies: text: Yes. The mean are better if available. I followed the link from the Cape Town and was able to get the WMO sources for Cambridge Bay. They only have numbers for some months. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 03:24, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi CBWeather. Mind you, not all the 3pm (nor 9am) humidity records were added by me. For example, Brisbane already had 3pm figures added earlier - I just changed their colour to green though. Yes, many other cities on Wiki go by the afternoon or 3pm figures. Sure, there is a daily mean in some weather stations and Wiki boxes here, but unfortunately Australia (BOM) just goes by 9am and 3pm. I personally find the 3pm figures more accurate and more in representation of the day than 9am's. Meganesia, Talk  18:03, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't notice any other. It's just the Sydney one that I saw. The Canadian ones are the same but use 6 am and 3 pm. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 15:44, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I've just updated the Sydney chart figures using the latest data from the Bureau of Meteorology Site for Observatory Hill, i.e. the standard Sydney weather site. The updated figures are from the Bureau of Meteorology Site for Observatory Hill, i.e. the standard Sydney weather site. Also, they are a summary for all years that records are available, not just those since the 1980's. Importantly, they are a summary for all years that records are available, not just those since the 1980's.  
29 August 2019 I've just reverted changes made 28 August 2019 as the climate data needs to reflect all available data, not just 1981 to 2010 http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_066062_All.shtmlHarkhuf (talk) 05:53, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your changes have been undone. Standard climatical data is last 30-years period, not last 200 years. This is standard in most of climatical pages and in Wikipedia.
