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 Madisonville falls on 9 April and the median first autumn frost on 24 October, which leaves a median of 194 days between them.

In 1992 to 2025 the median growing season was 200 days. That is 6 days more than in 1949 to 1983.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Madisonville
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1949 to 1983)	Recent period (1992 to 2025)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	9 April	10 April	8 April	2 days earlier	-1.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	24 October	20 October	27 October	7 days later	+1.6 days per decade
Growing days	194 days	194 days	200 days	6 days more	+2.6 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

76 years, 1948 to 2025

A day with at least 78.9 mm (3.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 221.0 mm (8.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Madisonville: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	78.9 mm (3.1 in)
5 years	107.8 mm (4.2 in)
10 years	130.1 mm (5.1 in)
25 years	162.6 mm (6.4 in)
50 years	190.2 mm (7.5 in)
100 years	221.0 mm (8.7 in)	Longer than the 76 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, 76 years of values from 1948 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: 260.4 mm (10.3 in) in 1997; 207.0 mm (8.1 in) in 1969; 170.9 mm (6.7 in) in 1977.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Madisonville, at 1955. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1955 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1955	+0.4	+0.7	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

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.
