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.

Frost Dates and Growing Season

62 years with a frost

Across 62 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Wangerooge falls on 29 March and the median first autumn frost on 15 November, which leaves a median of 236 days between them.

In 1975 to 2005 the median growing season was 235 days. The two periods have the same number of growing days.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.3 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Wangerooge
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1942 to 1971)	Recent period (1975 to 2005)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	29 March	29 March	30 March	1 day later	-0.1 days per decade
First autumn frost	15 November	14 November	15 November	1 day later	+0.2 days per decade
Growing days	236 days	235 days	235 days	no change	+0.3 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

129 years, 1886 to 2025

A day with at least 30.7 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 63.2 mm (2.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Wangerooge: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	30.7 mm (1.2 in)
5 years	39.2 mm (1.5 in)
10 years	44.9 mm (1.8 in)
25 years	52.2 mm (2.1 in)
50 years	57.7 mm (2.3 in)
100 years	63.2 mm (2.5 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 129 years of values from 1886 to 2025.

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: 67.2 mm (2.6 in) in 1981; 66.1 mm (2.6 in) in 1973; 63.1 mm (2.5 in) in 1942.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Wangerooge, at 1974. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1974 ran 0.1 C (0.2 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Wangerooge, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1974	-0.1	-0.2	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.
