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

134 years with a frost

Across 134 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Sheffield falls on 10 April and the median first autumn frost on 15 November, which leaves a median of 218 days between them.

In 1993 to 2024 the median growing season was 222 days. That is 10 days more than in 1883 to 1912.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.1 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost15 November11 November23 November12 days later+1.0 days per decade
Growing days218 days212 days222 days10 days more+1.1 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

139 years, 1883 to 2025

A day with at least 34.8 mm (1.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 92.2 mm (3.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years68.3 mm (2.7 in)
50 years79.5 mm (3.1 in)
100 years92.2 mm (3.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 139 years of values from 1883 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: 119.2 mm (4.7 in) in 1973; 88.2 mm (3.5 in) in 2007; 88.1 mm (3.5 in) in 2009.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Sheffield, at 1992. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1992 ran 0.1 C (0.2 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

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

2010 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2010 to 2024, Sheffield had a mean temperature of 10.6 C (51.1 F) and 851.2 mm (33.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Everett (United States, 7,439 km away), Eastbourne (United Kingdom, 316 km away) and Caen-Carpiquet (France, 486 km away).

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.
