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.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.4 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Versailles
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1984 to 2021)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	13 April	n/a	9 April	n/a	-1.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	17 October	n/a	19 October	n/a	+0.9 days per decade
Growing days	185 days	n/a	191 days	n/a	+2.4 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

69 years, 1905 to 2025

A day with at least 75.5 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 212.2 mm (8.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Versailles: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	75.5 mm (3.0 in)
5 years	101.5 mm (4.0 in)
10 years	122.3 mm (4.8 in)
25 years	153.5 mm (6.0 in)
50 years	180.9 mm (7.1 in)
100 years	212.2 mm (8.4 in)	Longer than the 69 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, 69 years of values from 1905 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: 191.3 mm (7.5 in) in 1998; 191.0 mm (7.5 in) in 1994; 162.8 mm (6.4 in) in 1995.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Versailles, at 1970 and 2002. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1970 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2002 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Versailles, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1970	+0.2	+0.4	possible	5
2002	-0.4	-0.7	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.
