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
57 years with a frostAcross 57 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Barren Rvr Lake falls on 10 April and the median first autumn frost on 23 October, which leaves a median of 193 days between them.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.8 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period | Recent period (1993 to 2023) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 10 April | n/a | 10 April | n/a | -0.4 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 23 October | n/a | 28 October | n/a | +2.4 days per decade |
| Growing days | 193 days | n/a | 198 days | n/a | +2.8 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
61 years, 1964 to 2025A day with at least 76.9 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 168.2 mm (6.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 76.9 mm (3.0 in) | |
| 5 years | 99.4 mm (3.9 in) | |
| 10 years | 115.0 mm (4.5 in) | |
| 25 years | 135.7 mm (5.3 in) | |
| 50 years | 151.7 mm (6.0 in) | |
| 100 years | 168.2 mm (6.6 in) | Longer than the 61 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, 61 years of values from 1964 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: 156.2 mm (6.1 in) in 2005; 144.8 mm (5.7 in) in 1982; 133.9 mm (5.3 in) in 2019.
Station Changes
No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.
Climate Twins
2008 to 2023 against 1961 to 1990Over 2008 to 2023, Barren Rvr Lake had a mean temperature of 14.5 C (58.1 F) and 1,364.9 mm (53.7 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Murfreesboro 5 N (United States, 111 km away), Mt Pleasant 1N (United States, 178 km away) and Dickson (United States, 146 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Murfreesboro 5 N | United States | 111 km (69 mi) | 14.5 C (58.1 F) | 1,348.4 mm (53.1 in) | 0.47 |
| Mt Pleasant 1N | United States | 178 km (111 mi) | 14.5 C (58.1 F) | 1,379.6 mm (54.3 in) | 0.50 |
| Dickson | United States | 146 km (91 mi) | 14.6 C (58.2 F) | 1,340.5 mm (52.8 in) | 0.52 |
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.
