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

74 years with a frost

Across 74 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Paris 3 ESE falls on 10 April and the median first autumn frost on 26 October, which leaves a median of 199 days between them.

In 1985 to 2016 the median growing season was 201 days. That is 4 days more than in 1923 to 1970.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.1 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Paris 3 ESE
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1923 to 1970)	Recent period (1985 to 2016)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	10 April	11 April	10 April	1 day earlier	-0.7 days per decade
First autumn frost	26 October	26 October	26 October	no change	+0.3 days per decade
Growing days	199 days	197 days	201 days	4 days more	+1.1 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

80 years, 1923 to 2025

A day with at least 78.7 mm (3.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 193.2 mm (7.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Paris 3 ESE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	78.7 mm (3.1 in)
5 years	102.3 mm (4.0 in)
10 years	120.5 mm (4.7 in)
25 years	146.7 mm (5.8 in)
50 years	168.7 mm (6.6 in)
100 years	193.2 mm (7.6 in)	Longer than the 80 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, 80 years of values from 1923 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: 197.1 mm (7.8 in) in 2002; 185.2 mm (7.3 in) in 1997; 167.6 mm (6.6 in) in 1998.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Paris 3 ESE, at 1990. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1990 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1990	-0.2	-0.4	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

2002 to 2016 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2002 to 2016, Paris 3 ESE had a mean temperature of 14.5 C (58.0 F) and 1,357.8 mm (53.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Murfreesboro 5 N (United States, 174 km away), Mt Pleasant 1N (United States, 126 km away) and Lebanon (United States, 173 km away).

Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Murfreesboro 5 N	United States	174 km (108 mi)	14.5 C (58.1 F)	1,348.4 mm (53.1 in)	0.38
Mt Pleasant 1N	United States	126 km (78 mi)	14.5 C (58.1 F)	1,379.6 mm (54.3 in)	0.41
Lebanon	United States	173 km (107 mi)	14.2 C (57.5 F)	1,319.3 mm (51.9 in)	0.43

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.
