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
73 years with a frostAcross 73 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Cliff 11 SE falls on 12 May and the median first autumn frost on 16 October, which leaves a median of 160 days between them.
In 1992 to 2025 the median growing season was 158 days. That is 2 days fewer than in 1948 to 1978.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.5 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1948 to 1978) | Recent period (1992 to 2025) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 12 May | 13 May | 11 May | 2 days earlier | +0.2 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 16 October | 17 October | 12 October | 5 days earlier | -0.3 days per decade |
| Growing days | 160 days | 160 days | 158 days | 2 days fewer | -0.5 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
79 years, 1945 to 2025A day with at least 33.8 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 67.2 mm (2.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 33.8 mm (1.3 in) | |
| 5 years | 43.7 mm (1.7 in) | |
| 10 years | 49.8 mm (2.0 in) | |
| 25 years | 57.1 mm (2.2 in) | |
| 50 years | 62.3 mm (2.5 in) | |
| 100 years | 67.2 mm (2.6 in) | Longer than the 79 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, 79 years of values from 1945 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: 79.0 mm (3.1 in) in 1997; 63.5 mm (2.5 in) in 1975; 57.9 mm (2.3 in) in 2013.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Cliff 11 SE, at 1987. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1987 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1987 | -0.4 | -0.7 | 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
2010 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2010 to 2025, Cliff 11 SE had a mean temperature of 13.4 C (56.1 F) and 374.5 mm (14.7 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Bravo (United States, 593 km away), Carrizozo 1SW (United States, 258 km away) and Prescott Love Fld (United States, 415 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bravo | United States | 593 km (368 mi) | 13.6 C (56.4 F) | 439.9 mm (17.3 in) | 0.73 |
| Carrizozo 1SW | United States | 258 km (160 mi) | 13.2 C (55.8 F) | 331.3 mm (13.0 in) | 0.74 |
| Prescott Love Fld | United States | 415 km (258 mi) | 12.8 C (55.1 F) | 359.1 mm (14.1 in) | 0.79 |
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.
