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

105 years, 1915 to 2025

A day with at least 32.5 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 94.8 mm (3.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years71.5 mm (2.8 in)
50 years82.8 mm (3.3 in)
100 years94.8 mm (3.7 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 105 years of values from 1915 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: 105.4 mm (4.1 in) in 1946; 96.5 mm (3.8 in) in 1951; 90.2 mm (3.6 in) in 2012.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Ajo, at 1985. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1985 ran 0.5 C (1.0 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

2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2011 to 2025, Ajo had a mean temperature of 23.5 C (74.2 F) and 216.3 mm (8.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Phoenix City (United States, 140 km away), Yuma WSO AP (United States, 166 km away) and Gold Rock Rch (United States, 196 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.
