2026	15 days

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

20 years with a frost

Across 20 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Bretten falls on 21 April and the median first autumn frost on 22 October, which leaves a median of 182 days between them.

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

42 years, 1984 to 2025

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 106.6 mm (4.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Bretten: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	36.1 mm (1.4 in)
5 years	50.2 mm (2.0 in)
10 years	61.2 mm (2.4 in)
25 years	77.3 mm (3.0 in)
50 years	91.1 mm (3.6 in)	Longer than the 42 years of record
100 years	106.6 mm (4.2 in)	Longer than the 42 years of record

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 42 years of values from 1984 to 2025.

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: 88.0 mm (3.5 in) in 2015; 85.9 mm (3.4 in) in 1995; 82.7 mm (3.3 in) in 1997.
