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.

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 53.1 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 136.7 mm (5.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 53.1 mm (2.1 in) | |
| 5 years | 72.4 mm (2.9 in) | |
| 10 years | 86.4 mm (3.4 in) | |
| 25 years | 105.4 mm (4.1 in) | |
| 50 years | 120.6 mm (4.7 in) | |
| 100 years | 136.7 mm (5.4 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: 151.4 mm (6.0 in) in 1962; 111.1 mm (4.4 in) in 1958; 99.6 mm (3.9 in) in 1994.
Station Changes
3 suspected3 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Chengde, at 1978, 1987 and 2000. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1978 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1987 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2000 ran 0.5 C (0.8 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1978 | -0.4 | -0.7 | likely | 5 |
| 1987 | -0.3 | -0.5 | likely | 5 |
| 2000 | -0.4 | -0.8 | possible | 5 |
Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
Climate Twins
2004 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2004 to 2025, Chengde had a mean temperature of 9.7 C (49.5 F) and 528.0 mm (20.8 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Huailai (China, 213 km away), Jinzhou (China, 269 km away) and Vermillion 2 SE (United States, 10,070 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huailai | China | 213 km (132 mi) | 9.6 C (49.3 F) | 383.1 mm (15.1 in) | 1.04 |
| Jinzhou | China | 269 km (167 mi) | 9.4 C (49.0 F) | 567.5 mm (22.3 in) | 1.16 |
| Vermillion 2 SE | United States | 10,070 km (6,257 mi) | 9.5 C (49.0 F) | 608.1 mm (23.9 in) | 1.20 |
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.
