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
66 years with a frostAcross 66 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Zhigansk falls on 2 June and the median first autumn frost on 27 August, which leaves a median of 87 days between them.
In 1985 to 2018 the median growing season was 91 days. That is 12 days more than in 1937 to 1978.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.5 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1937 to 1978) | Recent period (1985 to 2018) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 2 June | 2 June | 1 June | 1 day earlier | -0.7 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 27 August | 20 August | 29 August | 9 days later | +2.8 days per decade |
| Growing days | 87 days | 79 days | 91 days | 12 days more | +3.5 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
83 years, 1936 to 2018A day with at least 22.8 mm (0.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 64.7 mm (2.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 22.8 mm (0.9 in) | |
| 5 years | 32.0 mm (1.3 in) | |
| 10 years | 38.9 mm (1.5 in) | |
| 25 years | 48.5 mm (1.9 in) | |
| 50 years | 56.3 mm (2.2 in) | |
| 100 years | 64.7 mm (2.5 in) | Longer than the 83 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, 83 years of values from 1936 to 2018.
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: 73.7 mm (2.9 in) in 2000; 54.6 mm (2.1 in) in 1960; 53.0 mm (2.1 in) in 1974.
Climate Twins
2003 to 2018 against 1961 to 1990Over 2003 to 2018, Zhigansk had a mean temperature of -10.3 C (13.5 F) and 379.5 mm (14.9 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Yugarenok (Russia, 1,051 km away), Chumpuruk (Russia, 411 km away) and Toko (Russia, 1,234 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yugarenok | Russia | 1,051 km (653 mi) | -9.8 C (14.4 F) | 360.7 mm (14.2 in) | 1.06 |
| Chumpuruk | Russia | 411 km (255 mi) | -10.6 C (13.0 F) | 254.9 mm (10.0 in) | 1.08 |
| Toko | Russia | 1,234 km (767 mi) | -10.9 C (12.3 F) | 464.7 mm (18.3 in) | 1.28 |
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.
