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 at Mt Carmel
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1937 to 1971)	Recent period (1980 to 2021)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	27 April	4 May	22 April	12 days earlier	-2.1 days per decade
First autumn frost	11 October	6 October	19 October	13 days later	+3.0 days per decade
Growing days	166 days	154 days	176 days	22 days more	+5.0 days per decade

50 years	165.8 mm (6.5 in)
100 years	183.8 mm (7.2 in)	Longer than the 75 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, 75 years of values from 1937 to 2021.

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: 170.2 mm (6.7 in) in 1960; 152.4 mm (6.0 in) in 2018; 151.1 mm (5.9 in) in 1996.

Climate Twins

2002 to 2021 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2002 to 2021, Mt Carmel had a mean temperature of 11.1 C (51.9 F) and 1,338.1 mm (52.7 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Suwa (Japan, 10,841 km away), Little Falls (United States, 125 km away) and New Brunswick 3 SE (United States, 165 km away).

Climate twins of Mt Carmel: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2002 to 2021 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Suwa	Japan	10,841 km (6,736 mi)	10.9 C (51.5 F)	1,332.6 mm (52.5 in)	0.55
Little Falls	United States	125 km (78 mi)	11.2 C (52.1 F)	1,282.8 mm (50.5 in)	0.59
New Brunswick 3 SE	United States	165 km (103 mi)	11.3 C (52.3 F)	1,252.3 mm (49.3 in)	0.62

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.
