Each chart shows one value per year; the dot marks the record year. TXx is the hottest daily maximum, TNn the coldest daily minimum, Rx1day and Rx5day the largest one-day and five-day rain totals, and CDD the longest run of days with less than 1 mm of rain. A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

| First autumn frost | 22 October | 18 October | 24 October | 6 days later | +1.3 days per decade |
| Growing days | 193 days | 187 days | 199 days | 12 days more | +2.3 days per decade |
A frost day is a day with a daily minimum at or below 0 C (32 F). The last spring frost and the first autumn frost are the last and first such days of the cold season, and growing days are the days between them. A negative trend for the last spring frost means it comes earlier.
Rainfall Return Levels
67 years, 1951 to 2024A day with at least 47.0 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 125.6 mm (4.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 47.0 mm (1.9 in) | |
| 5 years | 65.4 mm (2.6 in) | |
| 10 years | 78.6 mm (3.1 in) | |
| 25 years | 96.5 mm (3.8 in) | |
| 50 years | 110.6 mm (4.4 in) | |
| 100 years | 125.6 mm (4.9 in) | Longer than the 67 years of record |
The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 67 years of values from 1951 to 2024.
A return level is an estimate. It is least reliable for the long periods, 50 and 100 years, and for any period longer than the record behind the fit, where the fit has to reach past the largest day actually observed. It is not a forecast.
The largest wettest-day totals in the fit: 166.9 mm (6.6 in) in 1996; 159.7 mm (6.3 in) in 2010; 94.7 mm (3.7 in) in 1957.
Climate Twins
2004 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2004 to 2025, Pingliang had a mean temperature of 10.6 C (51.1 F) and 494.7 mm (19.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Tianshui (China, 136 km away), Rosiori de Vede (Romania, 6,751 km away) and Yan An (China, 280 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tianshui | China | 136 km (85 mi) | 11.4 C (52.5 F) | 541.0 mm (21.3 in) | 0.99 |
| Rosiori de Vede | Romania | 6,751 km (4,195 mi) | 11.1 C (51.9 F) | 519.8 mm (20.5 in) | 1.11 |
| Yan An | China | 280 km (174 mi) | 10.4 C (50.7 F) | 560.6 mm (22.1 in) | 1.11 |
Twins are stations, not cities. A twin is one of the three stations at least 100 km away whose earlier climate is closest to this station's recent one, so a close match does not mean the two places look alike in other ways. A station move or a gap in a record can change that station's averages. The list describes past climate; it is not a forecast and does not say what caused any change. How twins are found, and a search for any station.
