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

34 years with a frost

Across 34 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Yass (Linton Hostel) falls on 29 September and the median first autumn frost on 6 May, which leaves a median of 218 days between them.

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

Frost dates and growing season at Yass (Linton Hostel)
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1971 to 2010)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	29 September	n/a	28 September	n/a	-1.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	6 May	n/a	6 May	n/a	+0.5 days per decade
Growing days	218 days	n/a	218 days	n/a	+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

107 years, 1899 to 2010

A day with at least 44.0 mm (1.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 116.8 mm (4.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Yass (Linton Hostel): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	44.0 mm (1.7 in)
5 years	59.9 mm (2.4 in)
10 years	71.7 mm (2.8 in)
25 years	88.3 mm (3.5 in)
50 years	102.0 mm (4.0 in)
100 years	116.8 mm (4.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 107 years of values from 1899 to 2010.

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: 141.3 mm (5.6 in) in 1989; 102.4 mm (4.0 in) in 1950; 99.8 mm (3.9 in) in 1959.
