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

67 years with a frost

Across 67 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Mineral Wells AP falls on 22 March and the median first autumn frost on 11 November, which leaves a median of 237 days between them.

In 1994 to 2024 the median growing season was 229 days. That is 10 days fewer than in 1949 to 1979.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -1.8 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Mineral Wells AP
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1949 to 1979)	Recent period (1994 to 2024)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	22 March	20 March	25 March	5 days later	+1.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	11 November	11 November	12 November	1 day later	-0.5 days per decade
Growing days	237 days	239 days	229 days	10 days fewer	-1.8 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

68 years, 1949 to 2025

A day with at least 70.3 mm (2.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 189.5 mm (7.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Mineral Wells AP: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	70.3 mm (2.8 in)
5 years	96.6 mm (3.8 in)
10 years	116.1 mm (4.6 in)
25 years	143.3 mm (5.6 in)
50 years	165.6 mm (6.5 in)
100 years	189.5 mm (7.5 in)	Longer than the 68 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, 68 years of values from 1949 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: 168.9 mm (6.6 in) in 1981; 158.5 mm (6.2 in) in 1962; 153.2 mm (6.0 in) in 2016.

Station Changes

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

Climate Twins

2010 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2010 to 2024, Mineral Wells AP had a mean temperature of 18.9 C (66.1 F) and 822.2 mm (32.4 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Dallas Hensley Fld NAS (United States, 102 km away), Dallas FAA AP (United States, 115 km away) and McGregor (United States, 162 km away).

Climate twins of Mineral Wells AP: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2010 to 2024 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Dallas Hensley Fld NAS	United States	102 km (63 mi)	19.0 C (66.3 F)	834.3 mm (32.8 in)	0.51
Dallas FAA AP	United States	115 km (71 mi)	19.0 C (66.2 F)	916.9 mm (36.1 in)	0.57
McGregor	United States	162 km (101 mi)	18.6 C (65.4 F)	820.9 mm (32.3 in)	0.60

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.
