Port Hedland Airport 4032 maximum temperature audit

At Port Hedland Airport 4032 from 1 July 1948 to September 1972, whole .0 Fahrenheit degrees represented 13.7% of all maximum temperatures recorded and .5 Fahrenheit degrees represented 6.8% of all maximum temperatures recorded.

1948-1972 represented 39.1% of the time span and had 26.4% of .0C and 21.4% of .5C maximum temperatures within the entire temperature record.

From 1972-2011, maximum temperature recordings of .0 Celsius degrees represented 10.8% of the total and .5C recordings represented 10.2% of the total of all fractions since 1972. Together, .0C and .5C represented 20.1% of all maximum temperatures recorded since metrication.
