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

47 years with a frost

Across 47 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Hovenweep Nm falls on 13 May and the median first autumn frost on 10 October, which leaves a median of 151 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.7 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Hovenweep Nm
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1977 to 2020)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	13 May	n/a	13 May	n/a	-1.8 days per decade
First autumn frost	10 October	n/a	10 October	n/a	+0.9 days per decade
Growing days	151 days	n/a	150 days	n/a	+2.7 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

60 years, 1958 to 2022

A day with at least 23.9 mm (0.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 67.8 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Hovenweep Nm: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	23.9 mm (0.9 in)
5 years	32.4 mm (1.3 in)
10 years	39.2 mm (1.5 in)
25 years	49.2 mm (1.9 in)
50 years	58.0 mm (2.3 in)
100 years	67.8 mm (2.7 in)	Longer than the 60 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, 60 years of values from 1958 to 2022.

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: 70.1 mm (2.8 in) in 2003; 55.6 mm (2.2 in) in 1996; 51.6 mm (2.0 in) in 1970.

Station Changes

No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.

Climate Twins

2003 to 2020 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2003 to 2020, Hovenweep Nm had a mean temperature of 12.0 C (53.5 F) and 263.8 mm (10.4 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Capitol Reef Np (United States, 217 km away), Canyonlands-the Needles (United States, 106 km away) and Gateway 1ENE (United States, 145 km away).

Climate twins of Hovenweep Nm: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2003 to 2020 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Capitol Reef Np	United States	217 km (135 mi)	12.2 C (53.9 F)	189.1 mm (7.4 in)	0.53
Canyonlands-the Needles	United States	106 km (66 mi)	11.6 C (52.9 F)	210.2 mm (8.3 in)	0.65
Gateway 1ENE	United States	145 km (90 mi)	11.8 C (53.2 F)	299.4 mm (11.8 in)	0.66

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.
