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

42 years with a frost

Across 42 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Ashland 3 ENE falls on 6 April and the median first autumn frost on 31 October, which leaves a median of 213 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.4 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost31 Octobern/a29 Octobern/a-1.0 days per decade
Growing days213 daysn/a211 daysn/a+0.4 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

54 years, 1949 to 2012

A day with at least 90.4 mm (3.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 171.0 mm (6.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

50 years160.4 mm (6.3 in)
100 years171.0 mm (6.7 in)Longer than the 54 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, 54 years of values from 1949 to 2012.

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: 159.3 mm (6.3 in) in 2003; 149.9 mm (5.9 in) in 1976; 143.3 mm (5.6 in) in 1988.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Ashland 3 ENE, at 1983. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1983 ran 0.2 C (0.4 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
