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 Nordhorn falls on 23 April and the median first autumn frost on 28 October, which leaves a median of 188 days between them.

In 1977 to 2006 the median growing season was 198 days. That is 11 days more than in 1936 to 1969.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +4.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Nordhorn
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1936 to 1969)	Recent period (1977 to 2006)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	23 April	1 May	19 April	12 days earlier	-2.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	28 October	29 October	27 October	2 days earlier	+1.6 days per decade
Growing days	188 days	187 days	198 days	11 days more	+4.6 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

82 years, 1931 to 2023

A day with at least 32.0 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 76.3 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Nordhorn: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	32.0 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	42.4 mm (1.7 in)
10 years	49.8 mm (2.0 in)
25 years	59.8 mm (2.4 in)
50 years	67.8 mm (2.7 in)
100 years	76.3 mm (3.0 in)	Longer than the 82 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, 82 years of values from 1931 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: 66.0 mm (2.6 in) in 1998; 62.0 mm (2.4 in) in 1987; 60.2 mm (2.4 in) in 1997.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Nordhorn, at 2001. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2001 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Nordhorn, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
2001	+0.2	+0.3	possible	5

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.
