The fitted trend in annual mean temperature here over 1892 to 1989 is 0.03 C (-0.02 to 0.08) per decade. The interval includes zero, so the trend is not clearly different from zero. In Fahrenheit: 0.06 F (-0.03 to 0.14) per decade. The slope is a straight line fitted to 92 complete years; the brackets give its 95 percent interval.
| Measure | Per decade (C) | Per decade (F) | Period | Complete years | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 0.03 C (-0.02 to 0.08) per decade | 0.06 F (-0.03 to 0.14) per decade | 1892 to 1989 | 92 | Not clearly different from zero |
| Mean daily maximum | -0.10 C (-0.16 to -0.05) per decade | -0.2 F (-0.3 to -0.1) per decade | 1892 to 1989 | 92 | Fall |
| Mean daily minimum | 0.2 C (0.1 to 0.2) per decade | 0.3 F (0.2 to 0.4) per decade | 1892 to 1989 | 92 | Rise |
A year is complete when all 12 months have at least 20 days of both daily maximum and daily minimum readings. The annual mean is the mean of the monthly means. The trend describes this one station over this period; it does not say what caused the change.

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
57 years with a frostAcross 57 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Houston Wb City falls on 16 February and the median first autumn frost on 8 December, which leaves a median of 292 days between them.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.8 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period | Recent period (1936 to 1989) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 16 February | n/a | 11 February | n/a | -1.7 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 8 December | n/a | 10 December | n/a | +1.2 days per decade |
| Growing days | 292 days | n/a | 300 days | n/a | +2.8 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
99 years, 1889 to 1989A day with at least 89.0 mm (3.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 228.0 mm (9.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 89.0 mm (3.5 in) | |
| 5 years | 119.9 mm (4.7 in) | |
| 10 years | 142.7 mm (5.6 in) | |
| 25 years | 174.4 mm (6.9 in) | |
| 50 years | 200.3 mm (7.9 in) | |
| 100 years | 228.0 mm (9.0 in) | Longer than the 99 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, 99 years of values from 1889 to 1989.
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: 211.3 mm (8.3 in) in 1945; 194.3 mm (7.6 in) in 1989; 190.0 mm (7.5 in) in 1976.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Houston Wb City, at 1912. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1912 ran 0.3 C (0.6 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1912 | +0.3 | +0.6 | 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.
