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

82 years with a frost

Across 82 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Cresco 1 NE falls on 7 May and the median first autumn frost on 30 September, which leaves a median of 147 days between them.

In 1989 to 2019 the median growing season was 144 days. That is 6 days fewer than in 1894 to 1964.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.3 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Cresco 1 NE
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1894 to 1964)	Recent period (1989 to 2019)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	7 May	7 May	12 May	5 days later	+0.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	30 September	29 September	30 September	1 day later	+0.2 days per decade
Growing days	147 days	150 days	144 days	6 days fewer	-0.3 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

85 years, 1894 to 2019

A day with at least 66.2 mm (2.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 155.5 mm (6.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Cresco 1 NE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	66.2 mm (2.6 in)
5 years	87.8 mm (3.5 in)
10 years	103.0 mm (4.1 in)
25 years	123.2 mm (4.9 in)
50 years	139.1 mm (5.5 in)
100 years	155.5 mm (6.1 in)	Longer than the 85 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, 85 years of values from 1894 to 2019.

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: 157.5 mm (6.2 in) in 1962; 153.4 mm (6.0 in) in 2016; 133.1 mm (5.2 in) in 1990.

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

Climate Twins

2004 to 2019 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2004 to 2019, Cresco 1 NE had a mean temperature of 7.0 C (44.6 F) and 997.8 mm (39.3 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Montreal McGill (Canada, 1,485 km away), Montreal Jar Bot (Canada, 1,488 km away) and Montreal Jean Brebeuf (Canada, 1,482 km away).

Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Montreal McGill	Canada	1,485 km (923 mi)	7.3 C (45.1 F)	1,038.4 mm (40.9 in)	0.80
Montreal Jar Bot	Canada	1,488 km (925 mi)	6.6 C (43.9 F)	1,043.3 mm (41.1 in)	0.91
Montreal Jean Brebeuf	Canada	1,482 km (921 mi)	6.6 C (43.8 F)	991.3 mm (39.0 in)	0.91

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.
