Abstract
![CDATA[This study examines changes in rainfall in New South Wales (NSW), Australia using data from 200 daily rainfall stations covering the period of 1945-2014. Mann-Kendall (MK) test is applied to identify trends in the annual maximum daily rainfall (AMDR) data, while the Pettitt test is employed to determine the direction and timing of the change point along with the potential impacts of the abrupt shift in the AMDR data series. Overall, the results of the MK test do not show any consistent pattern of trends in in the AMDR data in NSW. However, southern half of NSW is dominated by decreasing trends in the AMDR data. Based on the Pettitt test it is found that 73 stations show positive trend and 127 stations show negative trend; however, only 5 stations (out of 200 stations) show a significant negative shift in the mean of the magnitude of the AMDR data.]]
