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

78 years with a frost

Across 78 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Sidney 6NNW falls on 14 May and the median first autumn frost on 26 September, which leaves a median of 134 days between them.

In 1991 to 2025 the median growing season was 144 days. That is 15 days more than in 1928 to 1969.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Sidney 6NNW
MeasureMedian, all yearsEarliest period (1928 to 1969)Recent period (1991 to 2025)Recent against earliestFitted trend

First autumn frost26 September23 September5 October12 days later+1.9 days per decade
Growing days134 days129 days144 days15 days more+3.0 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

107 years, 1909 to 2025

A day with at least 41.0 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 96.2 mm (3.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Sidney 6NNW: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once inA day with at leastNote
2 years41.0 mm (1.6 in)
5 years54.7 mm (2.2 in)

25 years76.7 mm (3.0 in)
50 years86.3 mm (3.4 in)
100 years96.2 mm (3.8 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 107 years of values from 1909 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: 106.9 mm (4.2 in) in 2013; 99.1 mm (3.9 in) in 1965; 82.6 mm (3.3 in) in 1957.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Sidney 6NNW, at 1977 and 2010. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1977 ran 0.5 C (1.0 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2010 ran 0.7 C (1.2 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

2010 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2010 to 2025, Sidney 6NNW had a mean temperature of 10.2 C (50.4 F) and 465.2 mm (18.3 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Nephi (United States, 764 km away), Goodland (United States, 235 km away) and Tooele (United States, 785 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.
