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
71 years with a frostAcross 71 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Howard 2SE falls on 14 April and the median first autumn frost on 19 October, which leaves a median of 185 days between them.
In 1988 to 2022 the median growing season was 192 days. That is 11 days more than in 1909 to 1976.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.3 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1909 to 1976) | Recent period (1988 to 2022) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 14 April | 15 April | 12 April | 3 days earlier | -0.4 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 19 October | 19 October | 21 October | 2 days later | +0.8 days per decade |
| Growing days | 185 days | 181 days | 192 days | 11 days more | +1.3 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
101 years, 1908 to 2024A day with at least 78.8 mm (3.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 229.3 mm (9.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 78.8 mm (3.1 in) | |
| 5 years | 110.5 mm (4.4 in) | |
| 10 years | 134.6 mm (5.3 in) | |
| 25 years | 169.0 mm (6.7 in) | |
| 50 years | 197.7 mm (7.8 in) | |
| 100 years | 229.3 mm (9.0 in) |
The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 101 years of values from 1908 to 2024.
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: 289.6 mm (11.4 in) in 1976; 204.0 mm (8.0 in) in 2007; 171.5 mm (6.8 in) in 2019.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Howard 2SE, at 2013. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2013 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | -0.3 | -0.5 | likely | 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.
Climate Twins
2004 to 2022 against 1961 to 1990Over 2004 to 2022, Howard 2SE had a mean temperature of 13.2 C (55.8 F) and 1,005.1 mm (39.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Waterloo 6SW (United States, 534 km away), Stockton Dam (United States, 218 km away) and Appleton City (United States, 210 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waterloo 6SW | United States | 534 km (332 mi) | 13.3 C (55.9 F) | 1,017.2 mm (40.0 in) | 0.61 |
| Stockton Dam | United States | 218 km (135 mi) | 13.4 C (56.0 F) | 1,047.1 mm (41.2 in) | 0.62 |
| Appleton City | United States | 210 km (130 mi) | 13.4 C (56.2 F) | 1,022.0 mm (40.2 in) | 0.65 |
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.
