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

63 years with a frost

Across 63 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Gascon falls on 5 June and the median first autumn frost on 21 September, which leaves a median of 111 days between them.

In 1988 to 2019 the median growing season was 114 days. That is 11 days more than in 1954 to 1984.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +4.2 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Gascon
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1954 to 1984)	Recent period (1988 to 2019)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	5 June	8 June	2 June	6 days earlier	-1.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	21 September	21 September	22 September	1 day later	+2.9 days per decade
Growing days	111 days	103 days	114 days	11 days more	+4.2 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

64 years, 1954 to 2020

A day with at least 39.8 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 99.4 mm (3.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Gascon: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	39.8 mm (1.6 in)
5 years	52.0 mm (2.0 in)
10 years	61.4 mm (2.4 in)
25 years	75.1 mm (3.0 in)
50 years	86.6 mm (3.4 in)
100 years	99.4 mm (3.9 in)	Longer than the 64 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, 64 years of values from 1954 to 2020.

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: 97.3 mm (3.8 in) in 2004; 88.4 mm (3.5 in) in 1998; 81.8 mm (3.2 in) in 1999.

Station Changes

No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.

Climate Twins

2003 to 2019 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2003 to 2019, Gascon had a mean temperature of 7.6 C (45.7 F) and 612.8 mm (24.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Simmern-Wahlbach (Germany, 8,429 km away), Waldeck (Germany, 8,422 km away) and Portola (United States, 1,387 km away).

Climate twins of Gascon: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2003 to 2019 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Simmern-Wahlbach	Germany	8,429 km (5,238 mi)	7.9 C (46.2 F)	676.7 mm (26.6 in)	0.68
Waldeck	Germany	8,422 km (5,233 mi)	7.7 C (45.9 F)	653.4 mm (25.7 in)	0.71
Portola	United States	1,387 km (862 mi)	7.8 C (46.0 F)	528.1 mm (20.8 in)	0.73

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.
