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

61 years with a frost

Across 61 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Poljarnoe falls on 30 May and the median first autumn frost on 1 October, which leaves a median of 125 days between them.

In 1982 to 2018 the median growing season was 129 days. That is 8 days more than in 1936 to 1979.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Poljarnoe
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1936 to 1979)	Recent period (1982 to 2018)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	30 May	3 June	26 May	8 days earlier	-1.7 days per decade
First autumn frost	1 October	2 October	2 October	no change	+0.3 days per decade
Growing days	125 days	121 days	129 days	8 days more	+2.0 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

73 years, 1936 to 2018

A day with at least 22.1 mm (0.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 46.8 mm (1.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Poljarnoe: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	22.1 mm (0.9 in)
5 years	28.9 mm (1.1 in)
10 years	33.3 mm (1.3 in)
25 years	38.8 mm (1.5 in)
50 years	42.8 mm (1.7 in)
100 years	46.8 mm (1.8 in)	Longer than the 73 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, 73 years of values from 1936 to 2018.

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: 47.2 mm (1.9 in) in 2012; 46.2 mm (1.8 in) in 1984; 39.4 mm (1.6 in) in 2003.

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours

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.
