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

75 years with a frost

Across 75 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Zharkent falls on 11 April and the median first autumn frost on 13 October, which leaves a median of 185 days between them.

In 1980 to 2025 the median growing season was 201 days. That is 29 days more than in 1930 to 1964.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +4.4 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost13 October9 October16 October7 days later+1.6 days per decade
Growing days185 days172 days201 days29 days more+4.4 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

87 years, 1917 to 2005

A day with at least 16.8 mm (0.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 41.8 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years33.6 mm (1.3 in)
50 years37.7 mm (1.5 in)
100 years41.8 mm (1.6 in)Longer than the 87 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, 87 years of values from 1917 to 2005.

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: 40.0 mm (1.6 in) in 1925; 37.6 mm (1.5 in) in 1942; 34.3 mm (1.4 in) in 1986.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Zharkent, at 1978. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 3 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1978 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).

YearShift (C)Shift (F)StrengthNeighbours
1978+0.3+0.5possible3

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.
