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
64 years with a frostAcross 64 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Betatakin falls on 14 May and the median first autumn frost on 15 October, which leaves a median of 155 days between them.
In 1988 to 2024 the median growing season was 158 days. That is 8 days more than in 1951 to 1983.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.8 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1951 to 1983) | Recent period (1988 to 2024) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 14 May | 16 May | 12 May | 4 days earlier | -0.9 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 15 October | 16 October | 14 October | 2 days earlier | -1.7 days per decade |
| Growing days | 155 days | 150 days | 158 days | 8 days more | -0.8 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
73 years, 1940 to 2024A day with at least 26.8 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 80.4 mm (3.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 26.8 mm (1.1 in) | |
| 5 years | 37.5 mm (1.5 in) | |
| 10 years | 45.8 mm (1.8 in) | |
| 25 years | 58.1 mm (2.3 in) | |
| 50 years | 68.6 mm (2.7 in) | |
| 100 years | 80.4 mm (3.2 in) | Longer than the 73 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, 73 years of values from 1940 to 2024.
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: 81.5 mm (3.2 in) in 1947; 63.5 mm (2.5 in) in 2004; 52.6 mm (2.1 in) in 1997.
Station Changes
2 suspected2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Betatakin, at 1981 and 2015. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1981 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2015 ran 0.3 C (0.6 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1981 | -0.3 | -0.5 | likely | 5 |
| 2015 | -0.3 | -0.6 | possible | 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
2005 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990Over 2005 to 2024, Betatakin had a mean temperature of 10.9 C (51.5 F) and 297.5 mm (11.7 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Trinidad AP (United States, 555 km away), Sanders (United States, 195 km away) and Snowflake 15 W (United States, 243 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trinidad AP | United States | 555 km (345 mi) | 11.0 C (51.8 F) | 342.3 mm (13.5 in) | 0.56 |
| Sanders | United States | 195 km (121 mi) | 11.0 C (51.7 F) | 301.3 mm (11.9 in) | 0.59 |
| Snowflake 15 W | United States | 243 km (151 mi) | 10.8 C (51.5 F) | 302.1 mm (11.9 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.
