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
64 years with a frostAcross 64 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Van falls on 20 April and the median first autumn frost on 2 November, which leaves a median of 198 days between them.
In 1975 to 2004 the median growing season was 203 days. That is 9 days more than in 1939 to 1970.

| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1939 to 1970) | Recent period (1975 to 2004) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 20 April | 23 April | 18 April | 5 days earlier | -2.0 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 2 November | 31 October | 4 November | 4 days later | +1.2 days per decade |
| Growing days | 198 days | 194 days | 203 days | 9 days more | +3.2 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.
