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

99 years with a frost

Across 99 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Orenburg falls on 30 April and the median first autumn frost on 28 September, which leaves a median of 148 days between them.

In 1989 to 2018 the median growing season was 147 days. That is 3 days fewer than in 1916 to 1949.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Orenburg
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1916 to 1949)	Recent period (1989 to 2018)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	30 April	3 May	29 April	4 days earlier	-0.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	28 September	27 September	27 September	no change	+0.1 days per decade
Growing days	148 days	150 days	147 days	3 days fewer	+1.0 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

135 years, 1886 to 2020

A day with at least 23.7 mm (0.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 67.4 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Orenburg: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	23.7 mm (0.9 in)
5 years	32.7 mm (1.3 in)
10 years	39.7 mm (1.6 in)
25 years	49.7 mm (2.0 in)
50 years	58.1 mm (2.3 in)
100 years	67.4 mm (2.7 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 135 years of values from 1886 to 2020.

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: 99.6 mm (3.9 in) in 2020; 62.2 mm (2.4 in) in 1981; 59.9 mm (2.4 in) in 1935.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Orenburg, at 1976. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1976 ran 0.1 C (0.2 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Orenburg, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1976	-0.1	-0.2	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.

Climate Twins

2004 to 2018 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2004 to 2018, Orenburg had a mean temperature of 6.2 C (43.1 F) and 358.7 mm (14.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Uralsk (Kazakhstan, 261 km away), Novouzensk (Russia, 510 km away) and Aleksandrov Gaj (Russia, 490 km away).

Climate twins of Orenburg: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2004 to 2018 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Uralsk	Kazakhstan	261 km (162 mi)	5.7 C (42.2 F)	320.1 mm (12.6 in)	0.75
Novouzensk	Russia	510 km (317 mi)	6.5 C (43.6 F)	344.6 mm (13.6 in)	0.80
Aleksandrov Gaj	Russia	490 km (304 mi)	6.8 C (44.2 F)	329.4 mm (13.0 in)	0.92

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.
