The fitted trend in annual mean temperature here over 1971 to 2025 is 0.1 C (-0.1 to 0.3) per decade. The interval includes zero, so the trend is not clearly different from zero. In Fahrenheit: 0.2 F (-0.1 to 0.6) per decade. The slope is a straight line fitted to 50 complete years; the brackets give its 95 percent interval.

A year is complete when all 12 months have at least 20 days of both daily maximum and daily minimum readings. The annual mean is the mean of the monthly means. The trend describes this one station over this period; it does not say what caused the change.

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

50 years with a frost

Across 50 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Kirley 7 N falls on 8 May and the median first autumn frost on 3 October, which leaves a median of 147 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.5 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost3 Octobern/a5 Octobern/a+2.3 days per decade
Growing days147 daysn/a149 daysn/a+1.5 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

53 years, 1971 to 2025

A day with at least 42.9 mm (1.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 95.9 mm (3.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

50 years86.4 mm (3.4 in)
100 years95.9 mm (3.8 in)Longer than the 53 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, 53 years of values from 1971 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: 92.2 mm (3.6 in) in 2013; 89.2 mm (3.5 in) in 2011; 66.8 mm (2.6 in) in 1982.

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

2006 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2006 to 2025, Kirley 7 N had a mean temperature of 8.3 C (46.9 F) and 495.4 mm (19.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Valentine Miller Fld AP (United States, 206 km away), Springview 2NW (United States, 234 km away) and Mission (United States, 156 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.
