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

98 years with a frost

Across 98 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Kursk falls on 23 April and the median first autumn frost on 7 October, which leaves a median of 170 days between them.

In 1989 to 2018 the median growing season was 180 days. That is 13 days more than in 1912 to 1950.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.9 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Kursk
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1912 to 1950)	Recent period (1989 to 2018)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	23 April	29 April	13 April	16 days earlier	-1.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	7 October	7 October	14 October	7 days later	+0.5 days per decade
Growing days	170 days	167 days	180 days	13 days more	+1.9 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

119 years, 1896 to 2018

A day with at least 33.6 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 97.9 mm (3.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Kursk: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	33.6 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	46.0 mm (1.8 in)
10 years	55.9 mm (2.2 in)
25 years	70.6 mm (2.8 in)
50 years	83.4 mm (3.3 in)
100 years	97.9 mm (3.9 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 119 years of values from 1896 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: 99.7 mm (3.9 in) in 1944; 98.3 mm (3.9 in) in 1953; 88.4 mm (3.5 in) in 2000.

Station Changes

3 suspected

3 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Kursk, at 1957, 1967 and 2005. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1957 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 1967 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2005 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Kursk, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1957	-0.4	-0.7	likely	5
1967	+0.2	+0.3	likely	5
2005	+0.2	+0.4	likely	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 2018 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2004 to 2018, Kursk had a mean temperature of 7.7 C (45.8 F) and 624.2 mm (24.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Debaltseve (Ukraine, 407 km away), Kharkiv (Ukraine, 200 km away) and Lubny (Ukraine, 295 km away).

Climate twins of Kursk: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2004 to 2018 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Debaltseve	Ukraine	407 km (253 mi)	7.4 C (45.3 F)	581.5 mm (22.9 in)	0.49
Kharkiv	Ukraine	200 km (124 mi)	7.6 C (45.6 F)	525.2 mm (20.7 in)	0.57
Lubny	Ukraine	295 km (183 mi)	7.7 C (45.8 F)	618.6 mm (24.4 in)	0.61

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.
