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.

| Last spring frost | 5 May | 6 May | 5 May | 1 day earlier | -0.3 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 30 September | 27 September | 6 October | 9 days later | +1.6 days per decade |
| Growing days | 147 days | 145 days | 155 days | 10 days more | +1.9 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
70 years, 1949 to 2025A day with at least 52.4 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 125.4 mm (4.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 52.4 mm (2.1 in) | |
| 5 years | 69.6 mm (2.7 in) | |
| 10 years | 81.8 mm (3.2 in) | |
| 25 years | 98.4 mm (3.9 in) | |
| 50 years | 111.6 mm (4.4 in) | |
| 100 years | 125.4 mm (4.9 in) | Longer than the 70 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, 70 years of values from 1949 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: 147.3 mm (5.8 in) in 1983; 91.4 mm (3.6 in) in 1997; 91.4 mm (3.6 in) in 2025.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Burwell 2WSW, at 1983. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1983 ran 0.5 C (0.8 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1983 | +0.5 | +0.8 | likely | 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
2007 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2007 to 2025, Burwell 2WSW had a mean temperature of 9.3 C (48.7 F) and 650.5 mm (25.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Clay Ctr (United States, 167 km away), Ainsworth (United States, 103 km away) and Valentine Nwr (United States, 154 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clay Ctr | United States | 167 km (104 mi) | 9.7 C (49.4 F) | 698.4 mm (27.5 in) | 0.71 |
| Ainsworth | United States | 103 km (64 mi) | 9.5 C (49.0 F) | 569.9 mm (22.4 in) | 0.84 |
| Valentine Nwr | United States | 154 km (96 mi) | 9.5 C (49.0 F) | 546.6 mm (21.5 in) | 0.92 |
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.
