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

70 years with a frost

Across 70 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Saffle falls on 17 May and the median first autumn frost on 23 September, which leaves a median of 128 days between them.

In 1995 to 2025 the median growing season was 144 days. That is 19 days more than in 1952 to 1983.

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

Frost dates and growing season at Saffle
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1952 to 1983)	Recent period (1995 to 2025)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	17 May	20 May	14 May	6 days earlier	-2.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	23 September	20 September	29 September	9 days later	+2.2 days per decade
Growing days	128 days	125 days	144 days	19 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

74 years, 1952 to 2025

A day with at least 36.8 mm (1.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 89.5 mm (3.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Saffle: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	36.8 mm (1.4 in)
5 years	49.3 mm (1.9 in)
10 years	58.2 mm (2.3 in)
25 years	70.2 mm (2.8 in)
50 years	79.6 mm (3.1 in)
100 years	89.5 mm (3.5 in)	Longer than the 74 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, 74 years of values from 1952 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: 93.7 mm (3.7 in) in 2023; 76.9 mm (3.0 in) in 2014; 74.0 mm (2.9 in) in 2009.

Station Changes

No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.

Climate Twins

2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2011 to 2025, Saffle had a mean temperature of 7.5 C (45.5 F) and 800.5 mm (31.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Genevad (Sweden, 286 km away), Save (Sweden, 163 km away) and Rodewisch (Germany, 958 km away).

Climate twins of Saffle: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2011 to 2025 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Genevad	Sweden	286 km (178 mi)	7.4 C (45.2 F)	773.1 mm (30.4 in)	0.56
Save	Sweden	163 km (101 mi)	7.2 C (45.0 F)	776.9 mm (30.6 in)	0.57
Rodewisch	Germany	958 km (595 mi)	7.6 C (45.7 F)	783.4 mm (30.8 in)	0.62

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.
