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

94 years with a frost

Across 94 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Yakutat AP falls on 22 May and the median first autumn frost on 22 September, which leaves a median of 121 days between them.

In 1996 to 2025 the median growing season was 125 days. That is 1 day fewer than in 1918 to 1961.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.1 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Yakutat AP
MeasureMedian, all yearsEarliest period (1918 to 1961)Recent period (1996 to 2025)Recent against earliestFitted trend

First autumn frost22 September28 September26 September2 days earlier-0.6 days per decade
Growing days121 days126 days125 days1 day fewer-0.1 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

99 years, 1918 to 2025

A day with at least 110.2 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 238.7 mm (9.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

50 years216.9 mm (8.5 in)
100 years238.7 mm (9.4 in)Longer than the 99 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, 99 years of values from 1918 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: 259.6 mm (10.2 in) in 1988; 198.1 mm (7.8 in) in 1979; 193.5 mm (7.6 in) in 1924.

Climate Twins

2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2011 to 2025, Yakutat AP had a mean temperature of 5.4 C (41.7 F) and 3,218.7 mm (126.7 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Hollyburn Ridge (Canada, 1,543 km away), Takle (Norway, 6,279 km away) and Petersburg 1 (United States, 496 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.
