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
65 years with a frostAcross 65 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Barkam falls on 24 April and the median first autumn frost on 18 October, which leaves a median of 175 days between them.
In 1988 to 2024 the median growing season was 175 days. That is 5 days fewer than in 1953 to 1982.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -1.0 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1953 to 1982) | Recent period (1988 to 2024) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 24 April | 23 April | 24 April | 1 day later | +1.5 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 18 October | 19 October | 18 October | 1 day earlier | +0.5 days per decade |
| Growing days | 175 days | 180 days | 175 days | 5 days fewer | -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
64 years, 1953 to 2023A day with at least 32.8 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 54.1 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 32.8 mm (1.3 in) | |
| 5 years | 39.6 mm (1.6 in) | |
| 10 years | 43.6 mm (1.7 in) | |
| 25 years | 48.1 mm (1.9 in) | |
| 50 years | 51.2 mm (2.0 in) | |
| 100 years | 54.1 mm (2.1 in) | Longer than the 64 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, 64 years of values from 1953 to 2023.
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: 53.5 mm (2.1 in) in 1983; 53.0 mm (2.1 in) in 1992; 45.6 mm (1.8 in) in 2001.
Climate Twins
2003 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990Over 2003 to 2024, Barkam had a mean temperature of 11.3 C (52.4 F) and 816.5 mm (32.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Lyon - St Exupery (France, 8,036 km away), Lost Creek Dam (United States, 10,543 km away) and Bourges (France, 8,149 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.
