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.

Rainfall Return Levels

62 years, 1953 to 2023

A day with at least 57.4 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 104.3 mm (4.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Lincang: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	57.4 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	71.6 mm (2.8 in)
10 years	80.3 mm (3.2 in)
25 years	90.5 mm (3.6 in)
50 years	97.6 mm (3.8 in)
100 years	104.3 mm (4.1 in)	Longer than the 62 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, 62 years of values from 1953 to 2023.

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: 97.4 mm (3.8 in) in 1974; 96.6 mm (3.8 in) in 2010; 94.0 mm (3.7 in) in 2021.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Lincang, at 2020. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 4 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2020 ran 0.8 C (1.4 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Lincang, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
2020	-0.8	-1.4	likely	4

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 1990

Over 2004 to 2025, Lincang had a mean temperature of 19.2 C (66.6 F) and 1,097.5 mm (43.2 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Antonio Escobedo (Smn) (Mexico, 14,395 km away), Mengzi (China, 329 km away) and Atenguillo (Mexico, 14,405 km away).

Climate twins of Lincang: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2004 to 2025 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Antonio Escobedo (Smn)	Mexico	14,395 km (8,945 mi)	19.3 C (66.7 F)	1,016.1 mm (40.0 in)	1.05
Mengzi	China	329 km (204 mi)	19.5 C (67.2 F)	844.8 mm (33.3 in)	1.28
Atenguillo	Mexico	14,405 km (8,951 mi)	19.7 C (67.5 F)	1,061.5 mm (41.8 in)	1.36

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.
