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
76 years with a frostAcross 76 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Prescott Love Fld falls on 27 April and the median first autumn frost on 26 October, which leaves a median of 180 days between them.
In 1995 to 2025 the median growing season was 188 days. That is 14 days more than in 1948 to 1977.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.7 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1948 to 1977) | Recent period (1995 to 2025) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 27 April | 2 May | 20 April | 12 days earlier | -1.8 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 26 October | 23 October | 27 October | 4 days later | +0.9 days per decade |
| Growing days | 180 days | 174 days | 188 days | 14 days more | +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
78 years, 1948 to 2025A day with at least 32.9 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 106.8 mm (4.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 32.9 mm (1.3 in) | |
| 5 years | 45.8 mm (1.8 in) | |
| 10 years | 56.6 mm (2.2 in) | |
| 25 years | 73.4 mm (2.9 in) | |
| 50 years | 88.7 mm (3.5 in) | |
| 100 years | 106.8 mm (4.2 in) | Longer than the 78 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, 78 years of values from 1948 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: 136.9 mm (5.4 in) in 1983; 90.7 mm (3.6 in) in 1968; 85.9 mm (3.4 in) in 1992.
Station Changes
2 suspected2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Prescott Love Fld, at 1979 and 1984. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1979 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1984 ran 0.6 C (1.0 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1979 | +0.4 | +0.7 | likely | 5 |
| 1984 | -0.6 | -1.0 | 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
2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2011 to 2025, Prescott Love Fld had a mean temperature of 14.1 C (57.4 F) and 316.9 mm (12.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Faywood (United States, 477 km away), Farnsworth Rch (United States, 687 km away) and Aleman Rch (United States, 542 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Faywood | United States | 477 km (296 mi) | 14.2 C (57.5 F) | 330.8 mm (13.0 in) | 0.61 |
| Farnsworth Rch | United States | 687 km (427 mi) | 14.3 C (57.7 F) | 290.0 mm (11.4 in) | 0.75 |
| Aleman Rch | United States | 542 km (337 mi) | 14.5 C (58.1 F) | 273.4 mm (10.8 in) | 0.82 |
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.
