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

46 years with a frost

Across 46 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Cumberland 2 falls on 18 April and the median first autumn frost on 19 October, which leaves a median of 186 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +4.8 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost19 Octobern/a26 Octobern/a+3.8 days per decade
Growing days186 daysn/a188 daysn/a+4.8 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

51 years, 1975 to 2025

A day with at least 52.9 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 115.2 mm (4.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

50 years103.9 mm (4.1 in)
100 years115.2 mm (4.5 in)Longer than the 51 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, 51 years of values from 1975 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: 117.6 mm (4.6 in) in 1996; 104.6 mm (4.1 in) in 1978; 87.6 mm (3.4 in) in 2021.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Cumberland 2, at 1983 and 2012. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1983 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2012 ran 0.3 C (0.6 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

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.
