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.

Rainfall Return Levels

94 years, 1922 to 2015

A day with at least 28.2 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 67.3 mm (2.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Beer Sheva: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	28.2 mm (1.1 in)
5 years	38.8 mm (1.5 in)
10 years	45.8 mm (1.8 in)
25 years	54.5 mm (2.1 in)
50 years	61.0 mm (2.4 in)
100 years	67.3 mm (2.6 in)	Longer than the 94 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, 94 years of values from 1922 to 2015.

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: 71.1 mm (2.8 in) in 2013; 64.0 mm (2.5 in) in 1934; 55.1 mm (2.2 in) in 1994.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Beer Sheva, at 1967 and 1993. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 4 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1967 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 4 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1993 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Beer Sheva, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1967	+0.2	+0.4	likely	4
1993	+0.2	+0.3	possible	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.
