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

66 years with a frost

Across 66 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Danville falls on 13 April and the median first autumn frost on 25 October, which leaves a median of 194 days between them.

In 1973 to 2019 the median growing season was 197 days. That is 11 days more than in 1934 to 1966.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.9 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Danville
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1934 to 1966)	Recent period (1973 to 2019)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	13 April	17 April	13 April	4 days earlier	-0.8 days per decade
First autumn frost	25 October	23 October	29 October	6 days later	+1.1 days per decade
Growing days	194 days	186 days	197 days	11 days more	+1.9 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

86 years, 1934 to 2025

A day with at least 65.2 mm (2.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 141.0 mm (5.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Danville: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	65.2 mm (2.6 in)
5 years	83.1 mm (3.3 in)
10 years	95.8 mm (3.8 in)

50 years	126.7 mm (5.0 in)
100 years	141.0 mm (5.6 in)	Longer than the 86 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, 86 years of values from 1934 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: 161.8 mm (6.4 in) in 1996; 134.6 mm (5.3 in) in 1997; 121.9 mm (4.8 in) in 2010.
