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

27 years with a frost

Across 27 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Wangaratta falls on 19 August and the median first autumn frost on 21 May, which leaves a median of 284 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -9.3 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Wangaratta
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1957 to 1985)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	19 August	n/a	19 August	n/a	+6.6 days per decade
First autumn frost	21 May	n/a	21 May	n/a	-2.8 days per decade
Growing days	284 days	n/a	284 days	n/a	-9.3 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, 1879 to 1986

A day with at least 45.0 mm (1.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 111.5 mm (4.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Wangaratta: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	45.0 mm (1.8 in)
5 years	60.4 mm (2.4 in)
10 years	71.4 mm (2.8 in)
25 years	86.6 mm (3.4 in)
50 years	98.7 mm (3.9 in)
100 years	111.5 mm (4.4 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 1879 to 1986.

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: 129.3 mm (5.1 in) in 1955; 129.0 mm (5.1 in) in 1934; 104.6 mm (4.1 in) in 1939.
