The annual mean temperature here has risen by 0.2 C (0.1 to 0.3) per decade over 1900 to 2024. In Fahrenheit: 0.3 F (0.2 to 0.5) per decade. The slope is a straight line fitted to 87 complete years; the brackets give its 95 percent interval.
| Measure | Per decade (C) | Per decade (F) | Period | Complete years | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 0.2 C (0.1 to 0.3) per decade | 0.3 F (0.2 to 0.5) per decade | 1900 to 2024 | 87 | Rise |
| Mean daily maximum | 0.12 C (0.04 to 0.20) per decade | 0.2 F (0.1 to 0.4) per decade | 1900 to 2024 | 87 | Rise |
| Mean daily minimum | 0.2 C (0.1 to 0.3) per decade | 0.4 F (0.3 to 0.6) per decade | 1900 to 2024 | 87 | Rise |
A year is complete when all 12 months have at least 20 days of both daily maximum and daily minimum readings. The annual mean is the mean of the monthly means. The trend describes this one station over this period; it does not say what caused the change.

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
87 years with a frostAcross 87 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Kenai AP falls on 27 May and the median first autumn frost on 6 September, which leaves a median of 101 days between them.
In 1995 to 2024 the median growing season was 115 days. That is 25 days more than in 1900 to 1967.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +5.3 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1900 to 1967) | Recent period (1995 to 2024) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 27 May | 3 June | 25 May | 9 days earlier | -1.9 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 6 September | 30 August | 16 September | 17 days later | +3.4 days per decade |
| Growing days | 101 days | 90 days | 115 days | 25 days more | +5.3 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
88 years, 1900 to 2025A day with at least 27.1 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 72.1 mm (2.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 27.1 mm (1.1 in) | |
| 5 years | 36.2 mm (1.4 in) | |
| 10 years | 43.3 mm (1.7 in) | |
| 25 years | 53.6 mm (2.1 in) | |
| 50 years | 62.4 mm (2.5 in) | |
| 100 years | 72.1 mm (2.8 in) | Longer than the 88 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, 88 years of values from 1900 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: 108.7 mm (4.3 in) in 1986; 56.6 mm (2.2 in) in 2012; 50.8 mm (2.0 in) in 1905.

Climate Twins
2010 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990Over 2010 to 2024, Kenai AP had a mean temperature of 2.4 C (36.2 F) and 402.5 mm (15.8 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Spicer (United States, 3,763 km away), Gol - Stake (Norway, 6,421 km away) and Grand Lake 1 NW (United States, 3,814 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spicer | United States | 3,763 km (2,338 mi) | 2.3 C (36.2 F) | 359.8 mm (14.2 in) | 0.86 |
| Gol - Stake | Norway | 6,421 km (3,990 mi) | 2.5 C (36.5 F) | 546.5 mm (21.5 in) | 1.06 |
| Grand Lake 1 NW | United States | 3,814 km (2,370 mi) | 2.2 C (35.9 F) | 524.5 mm (20.6 in) | 1.07 |
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.
