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
55 years with a frostAcross 55 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Akureyri falls on 24 May and the median first autumn frost on 13 September, which leaves a median of 113 days between them.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.5 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period | Recent period (1975 to 2004) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 24 May | n/a | 20 May | n/a | -1.6 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 13 September | n/a | 15 September | n/a | +1.9 days per decade |
| Growing days | 113 days | n/a | 114 days | n/a | +3.5 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.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Akureyri, at 1987. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 4 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1987 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1987 | +0.4 | +0.7 | likely | 4 |
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.
