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

117 years with a frost

Across 117 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Indianola 1SW falls on 27 April and the median first autumn frost on 9 October, which leaves a median of 163 days between them.

In 1989 to 2021 the median growing season was 164 days. That is 4 days fewer than in 1894 to 1928.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.8 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost9 October12 October8 October4 days earlier-0.5 days per decade
Growing days163 days168 days164 days4 days fewer-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

121 years, 1894 to 2025

A day with at least 64.0 mm (2.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 168.5 mm (6.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years127.1 mm (5.0 in)
50 years146.9 mm (5.8 in)
100 years168.5 mm (6.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 121 years of values from 1894 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: 226.1 mm (8.9 in) in 1977; 172.7 mm (6.8 in) in 1909; 142.5 mm (5.6 in) in 2015.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Indianola 1SW, at 1918 and 1944. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1918 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1944 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) higher than in the years before (possible 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

2004 to 2021 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2004 to 2021, Indianola 1SW had a mean temperature of 9.8 C (49.6 F) and 1,006.5 mm (39.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Moline Quad City Intl AP (United States, 255 km away), Kankakee Wwtp (United States, 476 km away) and Geneseo (United States, 286 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.
