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

93 years with a frost

Across 93 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Escalante falls on 17 May and the median first autumn frost on 5 October, which leaves a median of 145 days between them.

In 1993 to 2025 the median growing season was 154 days. That is 16 days more than in 1909 to 1959.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.1 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost5 October5 October8 October3 days later+0.9 days per decade
Growing days145 days138 days154 days16 days more+2.1 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

103 years, 1903 to 2025

A day with at least 28.9 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 79.3 mm (3.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years60.3 mm (2.4 in)
50 years69.5 mm (2.7 in)
100 years79.3 mm (3.1 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 103 years of values from 1903 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: 82.3 mm (3.2 in) in 1932; 81.3 mm (3.2 in) in 1927; 62.2 mm (2.4 in) in 2004.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Escalante, at 1967 and 1996. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1967 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).
  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1996 ran 0.6 C (1.0 F) higher 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.

Climate Twins

2010 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2010 to 2025, Escalante had a mean temperature of 11.8 C (53.2 F) and 269.7 mm (10.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Caliente (United States, 258 km away), Canyon de Chelly (United States, 256 km away) and Holbrook (United States, 343 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.
