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

63 years with a frost

Across 63 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Zuni falls on 24 May and the median first autumn frost on 7 October, which leaves a median of 136 days between them.

In 1991 to 2024 the median growing season was 126 days. That is 22 days fewer than in 1950 to 1986.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -4.9 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Zuni
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1950 to 1986)	Recent period (1991 to 2024)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	24 May	17 May	27 May	10 days later	+2.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	7 October	13 October	3 October	10 days earlier	-2.6 days per decade
Growing days	136 days	148 days	126 days	22 days fewer	-4.9 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

67 years, 1950 to 2024

A day with at least 27.7 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 74.1 mm (2.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Zuni: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	27.7 mm (1.1 in)
5 years	38.2 mm (1.5 in)
10 years	45.8 mm (1.8 in)
25 years	56.4 mm (2.2 in)
50 years	65.0 mm (2.6 in)
100 years	74.1 mm (2.9 in)	Longer than the 67 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, 67 years of values from 1950 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: 73.7 mm (2.9 in) in 2021; 62.5 mm (2.5 in) in 1971; 58.2 mm (2.3 in) in 2001.

Station Changes

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

Climate Twins

2006 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2006 to 2024, Zuni had a mean temperature of 10.3 C (50.5 F) and 283.3 mm (11.2 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Pedernal 9 E (United States, 311 km away), Keams Canyon (United States, 148 km away) and Estancia 4N (United States, 257 km away).

Climate twins of Zuni: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2006 to 2024 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Pedernal 9 E	United States	311 km (193 mi)	10.2 C (50.3 F)	281.0 mm (11.1 in)	0.48
Keams Canyon	United States	148 km (92 mi)	10.0 C (50.1 F)	248.6 mm (9.8 in)	0.55
Estancia 4N	United States	257 km (160 mi)	10.6 C (51.0 F)	319.4 mm (12.6 in)	0.57

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.
