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

28 years with a frost

Across 28 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Abbeville falls on 28 February and the median first autumn frost on 25 November, which leaves a median of 268 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Abbeville
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1897 to 1947)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	28 February	n/a	28 February	n/a	+0.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	25 November	n/a	25 November	n/a	+2.1 days per decade
Growing days	268 days	n/a	268 days	n/a	+1.6 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

92 years, 1895 to 2025

A day with at least 110.1 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 311.4 mm (12.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Abbeville: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	110.1 mm (4.3 in)
5 years	152.2 mm (6.0 in)
10 years	184.3 mm (7.3 in)
25 years	230.4 mm (9.1 in)
50 years	268.9 mm (10.6 in)
100 years	311.4 mm (12.3 in)	Longer than the 92 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, 92 years of values from 1895 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: 444.5 mm (17.5 in) in 1940; 249.7 mm (9.8 in) in 1999; 243.1 mm (9.6 in) in 2016.
