Climate Trend

92 complete years, 1893 to 2024
Annual mean temperature at Socorro as warming stripes, 1893 to 2024 One stripe for each of 92 complete years at Socorro, 1893 to 2024. Blue stripes are years cooler than the station's own mean of 14.2 C (57.6 F); red stripes are warmer. The coolest year was 1975, at 12.7 C (54.8 F), and the warmest was 1943, at 15.7 C (60.3 F).

The fitted trend in annual mean temperature here over 1893 to 2024 is -0.02 C (-0.06 to 0.02) per decade. The interval includes zero, so the trend is not clearly different from zero. In Fahrenheit: -0.04 F (-0.12 to 0.03) per decade. The slope is a straight line fitted to 92 complete years; the brackets give its 95 percent interval.

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

92 years with a frost

Across 92 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Socorro falls on 23 April and the median first autumn frost on 21 October, which leaves a median of 183 days between them.

In 1978 to 2024 the median growing season was 176 days. That is 5 days fewer than in 1893 to 1938.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.6 days per decade at this station.

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

110 years, 1897 to 2025

A day with at least 29.3 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 72.5 mm (2.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years57.5 mm (2.3 in)
50 years64.9 mm (2.6 in)
100 years72.5 mm (2.9 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 110 years of values from 1897 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: 87.4 mm (3.4 in) in 1980; 81.3 mm (3.2 in) in 1916; 64.3 mm (2.5 in) in 1937.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Socorro, at 2000. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2000 ran 0.6 C (1.0 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.
