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
37 years with a frost
Across 37 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Panama City 5N falls on 27 February and the median first autumn frost on 1 December, which leaves a median of 279 days between them.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +7.6 days per decade at this station.

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
50 years, 1972 to 2022
A day with at least 105.9 mm (4.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 327.9 mm (12.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Longer than the 50 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, 50 years of values from 1972 to 2022.
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: 325.1 mm (12.8 in) in 1998; 272.3 mm (10.7 in) in 1984; 218.2 mm (8.6 in) in 2013.
Station Changes
2 suspected
2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Panama City 5N, at 1993 and 2004. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1993 ran 0.6 C (1.1 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2004 ran 0.9 C (1.7 F) higher 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
2001 to 2022 against 1961 to 1990
Over 2001 to 2022, Panama City 5N had a mean temperature of 20.8 C (69.4 F) and 1,463.6 mm (57.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Boothville ASOS (United States, 376 km away), New Orleans Audubon (United States, 432 km away) and Perry (United States, 202 km away).
Climate twins of Panama City 5N: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2001 to 2022 climate
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.
