2004	24 days

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 Wheatfield falls on 7 May and the median first autumn frost on 4 October, which leaves a median of 149 days between them.

In 1955 to 2003 the median growing season was 156 days. That is 13 days more than in 1917 to 1946.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.5 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Wheatfield
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1917 to 1946)	Recent period (1955 to 2003)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	7 May	13 May	3 May	10 days earlier	-1.6 days per decade
First autumn frost	4 October	3 October	5 October	2 days later	+0.9 days per decade
Growing days	149 days	143 days	156 days	13 days more	+2.5 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

77 years, 1917 to 2004

A day with at least 59.4 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 151.8 mm (6.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Wheatfield: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	59.4 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	78.1 mm (3.1 in)
10 years	92.6 mm (3.6 in)
25 years	113.7 mm (4.5 in)
50 years	131.7 mm (5.2 in)
100 years	151.8 mm (6.0 in)	Longer than the 77 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, 77 years of values from 1917 to 2004.

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: 139.7 mm (5.5 in) in 2003; 131.6 mm (5.2 in) in 1996; 121.4 mm (4.8 in) in 1968.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Wheatfield, at 1949 and 1960. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1949 ran 0.4 C (0.6 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1960 ran 0.6 C (1.0 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Wheatfield, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1949	-0.4	-0.6	possible	5
1960	+0.6	+1.0	possible	5

Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
