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

68 years with a frost

Across 68 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Climax falls on 24 June and the median first autumn frost on 27 July, which leaves a median of 35 days between them.

In 1995 to 2025 the median growing season was 60 days. That is 43 days more than in 1953 to 1985.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Climax
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1953 to 1985)	Recent period (1995 to 2025)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	24 June	26 June	20 June	6 days earlier	-0.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	27 July	12 July	17 August	36 days later	+2.7 days per decade
Growing days	35 days	17 days	60 days	43 days more	+3.6 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

76 years, 1894 to 2025

A day with at least 24.2 mm (1.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 60.1 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Climax: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	24.2 mm (1.0 in)
5 years	32.0 mm (1.3 in)
10 years	37.9 mm (1.5 in)
25 years	46.1 mm (1.8 in)
50 years	52.8 mm (2.1 in)
100 years	60.1 mm (2.4 in)	Longer than the 76 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, 76 years of values from 1894 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: 76.2 mm (3.0 in) in 1895; 50.8 mm (2.0 in) in 1973; 46.0 mm (1.8 in) in 1984.

Station Changes

No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.

Climate Twins

Twins are stations, not cities. A twin is one of the three stations at least 100 km away whose earlier climate is closest to this station's recent one, so a close match does not mean the two places look alike in other ways. A station move or a gap in a record can change that station's averages. The list describes past climate; it is not a forecast and does not say what caused any change. How twins are found, and a search for any station.
