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

49 years with a frost

Across 49 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Benalla (Shadforth Street) falls on 7 September and the median first autumn frost on 23 May, which leaves a median of 260 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +4.2 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Benalla (Shadforth Street)
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1976 to 2005)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	7 September	n/a	30 August	n/a	-4.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	23 May	n/a	21 May	n/a	-0.1 days per decade
Growing days	260 days	n/a	270 days	n/a	+4.2 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

123 years, 1883 to 2005

A day with at least 43.9 mm (1.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 110.4 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Benalla (Shadforth Street): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	43.9 mm (1.7 in)
5 years	58.5 mm (2.3 in)
10 years	69.3 mm (2.7 in)
25 years	84.5 mm (3.3 in)
50 years	97.0 mm (3.8 in)
100 years	110.4 mm (4.3 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 123 years of values from 1883 to 2005.

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: 177.4 mm (7.0 in) in 1993; 102.0 mm (4.0 in) in 1989; 90.2 mm (3.6 in) in 1939.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Benalla (Shadforth Street), at 1985 and 1997. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1985 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1997 ran 0.1 C (0.2 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

1985	-0.2	-0.3	likely	5
1997	+0.1	+0.2	likely	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.
