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

62 years with a frost

Across 62 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Zerbst falls on 29 April and the median first autumn frost on 14 October, which leaves a median of 169 days between them.

In 1944 to 1980 the median growing season was 178 days. That is 15 days more than in 1904 to 1937.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.1 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Zerbst
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1904 to 1937)	Recent period (1944 to 1980)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	29 April	3 May	25 April	8 days earlier	-1.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	14 October	12 October	16 October	4 days later	+1.2 days per decade
Growing days	169 days	163 days	178 days	15 days more	+3.1 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, 1887 to 2006

A day with at least 30.8 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 80.6 mm (3.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Zerbst: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	30.8 mm (1.2 in)
5 years	42.7 mm (1.7 in)
10 years	51.2 mm (2.0 in)
25 years	62.5 mm (2.5 in)
50 years	71.4 mm (2.8 in)
100 years	80.6 mm (3.2 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 1887 to 2006.

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: 72.8 mm (2.9 in) in 1983; 70.0 mm (2.8 in) in 1924; 67.8 mm (2.7 in) in 1912.
