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

62 years with a frost

Across 62 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at New Roads 5 NE falls on 28 February and the median first autumn frost on 22 November, which leaves a median of 270 days between them.

In 1989 to 2025 the median growing season was 278 days. That is 18 days more than in 1943 to 1985.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.8 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at New Roads 5 NE
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1943 to 1985)	Recent period (1989 to 2025)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	28 February	5 March	20 February	13 days earlier	-1.6 days per decade
First autumn frost	22 November	15 November	29 November	14 days later	+2.3 days per decade
Growing days	270 days	260 days	278 days	18 days more	+3.8 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

70 years, 1943 to 2025

A day with at least 111.9 mm (4.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 282.0 mm (11.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at New Roads 5 NE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	111.9 mm (4.4 in)
5 years	154.0 mm (6.1 in)
10 years	183.3 mm (7.2 in)
25 years	221.7 mm (8.7 in)
50 years	251.5 mm (9.9 in)
100 years	282.0 mm (11.1 in)	Longer than the 70 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, 70 years of values from 1943 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: 250.2 mm (9.9 in) in 1964; 226.8 mm (8.9 in) in 2016; 224.8 mm (8.9 in) in 2001.

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.
