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

59 years, 1883 to 1942

A day with at least 36.1 mm (1.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 98.1 mm (3.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 59 years of values from 1883 to 1942.

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: 105.9 mm (4.2 in) in 1937; 71.4 mm (2.8 in) in 1938; 71.1 mm (2.8 in) in 1902.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Edmonton, at 1917. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 4 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1917 ran 0.6 C (1.2 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

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.
