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.
Station Changes
3 suspected3 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Shantou, at 1963, 1982 and 1992. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 3 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1963 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
- Relative to 3 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1982 ran 0.3 C (0.6 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
- Relative to 3 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1992 ran 0.4 C (0.8 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1963 | -0.2 | -0.3 | possible | 3 |
| 1982 | +0.3 | +0.6 | likely | 3 |
| 1992 | +0.4 | +0.8 | likely | 3 |
Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
