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

81 years with a frost

Across 81 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Dikson falls on 29 June and the median first autumn frost on 2 July, which leaves a median of 4 days between them.

In 1988 to 2018 the median growing season was 7 days. The two periods have the same number of growing days.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.9 days per decade at this station.

Last spring frost29 June28 June28 Juneno change-0.3 days per decade
First autumn frost2 July4 July3 July1 day earlier+1.5 days per decade
Growing days4 days7 days7 daysno change+1.9 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

85 years, 1936 to 2024

A day with at least 16.9 mm (0.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 41.3 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 85 years of values from 1936 to 2024.

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: 42.9 mm (1.7 in) in 2024; 41.5 mm (1.6 in) in 1954; 34.2 mm (1.3 in) in 2015.

Climate Twins

2004 to 2018 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2004 to 2018, Dikson had a mean temperature of -9.2 C (15.5 F) and 411.2 mm (16.2 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Marre-Sale (Russia, 633 km away), Mys Kamennyj (Russia, 611 km away) and Mys Vankarem (Russia, 3,382 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.
