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
70 years with a frostAcross 70 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Hamlet falls on 10 April and the median first autumn frost on 27 October, which leaves a median of 203 days between them.
In 1994 to 2024 the median growing season was 210 days. That is 14 days more than in 1950 to 1982.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.9 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1950 to 1982) | Recent period (1994 to 2024) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 10 April | 9 April | 8 April | 1 day earlier | -0.9 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 27 October | 25 October | 31 October | 6 days later | +1.1 days per decade |
| Growing days | 203 days | 196 days | 210 days | 14 days more | +1.9 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
73 years, 1950 to 2024A day with at least 76.3 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 214.3 mm (8.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 76.3 mm (3.0 in) | |
| 5 years | 103.8 mm (4.1 in) | |
| 10 years | 125.2 mm (4.9 in) | |
| 25 years | 156.8 mm (6.2 in) | |
| 50 years | 183.8 mm (7.2 in) | |
| 100 years | 214.3 mm (8.4 in) | Longer than the 73 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, 73 years of values from 1950 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: 198.1 mm (7.8 in) in 2016; 193.3 mm (7.6 in) in 1954; 158.2 mm (6.2 in) in 2018.
Station Changes
2 suspected2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Hamlet, at 1987 and 2000. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1987 ran 0.4 C (0.6 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2000 ran 0.6 C (1.1 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1987 | -0.4 | -0.6 | likely | 5 |
| 2000 | +0.6 | +1.1 | 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 2024 against 1961 to 1990Over 2010 to 2024, Hamlet had a mean temperature of 17.3 C (63.2 F) and 1,289.3 mm (50.8 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Cotton Valley 5 NNW (United States, 1,289 km away), Columbia (United States, 167 km away) and El Dorado Goodwin Fld (United States, 1,222 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton Valley 5 NNW | United States | 1,289 km (801 mi) | 17.4 C (63.2 F) | 1,274.8 mm (50.2 in) | 0.40 |
| Columbia | United States | 167 km (104 mi) | 17.3 C (63.1 F) | 1,268.0 mm (49.9 in) | 0.50 |
| El Dorado Goodwin Fld | United States | 1,222 km (759 mi) | 17.3 C (63.2 F) | 1,317.8 mm (51.9 in) | 0.51 |
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.
