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

65 years with a frost

Across 65 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Hobart 2 WNW falls on 3 May and the median first autumn frost on 14 October, which leaves a median of 163 days between them.

In 1962 to 1999 the median growing season was 163 days. That is 3 days fewer than in 1920 to 1956.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.1 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Hobart 2 WNW
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1920 to 1956)	Recent period (1962 to 1999)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	3 May	1 May	4 May	3 days later	-0.1 days per decade
First autumn frost	14 October	13 October	16 October	3 days later	-0.2 days per decade
Growing days	163 days	166 days	163 days	3 days fewer	-0.1 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

73 years, 1920 to 1999

A day with at least 59.8 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 161.5 mm (6.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Hobart 2 WNW: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	59.8 mm (2.4 in)
5 years	80.9 mm (3.2 in)
10 years	97.0 mm (3.8 in)
25 years	120.3 mm (4.7 in)
50 years	139.8 mm (5.5 in)
100 years	161.5 mm (6.4 in)	Longer than the 73 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, 73 years of values from 1920 to 1999.

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: 143.3 mm (5.6 in) in 1941; 140.2 mm (5.5 in) in 1983; 129.5 mm (5.1 in) in 1989.
