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

41 years with a frost

Across 41 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Barrington 3SW falls on 29 April and the median first autumn frost on 14 October, which leaves a median of 167 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +5.4 days per decade at this station.

100 years148.6 mm (5.9 in)Longer than the 52 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, 52 years of values from 1963 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: 145.3 mm (5.7 in) in 2011; 136.1 mm (5.4 in) in 2002; 113.8 mm (4.5 in) in 2018.

Climate Twins

2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2011 to 2025, Barrington 3SW had a mean temperature of 9.2 C (48.6 F) and 1,016.6 mm (40.0 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Lowell Wwtp (United States, 113 km away), Rochester (United States, 200 km away) and Columbia City (United States, 247 km away).

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.
