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

84 years with a frost

Across 84 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Sacramento 5 ESE falls on 26 January and the median first autumn frost on 7 December, which leaves a median of 313 days between them.

In 1956 to 2022 the median growing season was 315 days. The two periods have the same number of growing days.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.0 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost7 December2 December11 December9 days later+0.4 days per decade
Growing days313 days315 days315 daysno change+1.0 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

147 years, 1878 to 2024

A day with at least 43.6 mm (1.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 108.6 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years86.1 mm (3.4 in)
50 years97.3 mm (3.8 in)
100 years108.6 mm (4.3 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 147 years of values from 1878 to 2024.

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: 138.2 mm (5.4 in) in 2021; 134.1 mm (5.3 in) in 1880; 92.2 mm (3.6 in) in 1962.

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

2009 to 2023 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2009 to 2023, Sacramento 5 ESE had a mean temperature of 17.8 C (64.0 F) and 459.4 mm (18.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Sasabe (United States, 1,193 km away), Imuris (Dge) (Mexico, 1,296 km away) and Tumacacori Nm (United States, 1,221 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.
