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

83 years with a frost

Across 83 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Bosque del Apache falls on 24 April and the median first autumn frost on 19 October, which leaves a median of 179 days between them.

In 1977 to 2024 the median growing season was 176 days. That is 10 days fewer than in 1895 to 1949.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -1.1 days per decade at this station.

Growing days179 days186 days176 days10 days fewer-1.1 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

100 years, 1895 to 2024

A day with at least 29.0 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 106.9 mm (4.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years72.6 mm (2.9 in)
50 years88.5 mm (3.5 in)
100 years106.9 mm (4.2 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 100 years of values from 1895 to 2024.

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: 129.5 mm (5.1 in) in 1915; 104.4 mm (4.1 in) in 1989; 101.6 mm (4.0 in) in 2018.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Bosque del Apache, at 2012. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2012 ran 0.4 C (0.8 F) lower 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

2002 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2002 to 2024, Bosque del Apache had a mean temperature of 15.3 C (59.5 F) and 256.1 mm (10.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are White Sands Natl Mon (United States, 132 km away), Artesia 6S (United States, 261 km away) and Bitter Lakes Wl Refuge (United States, 233 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.
