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
61 years with a frostAcross 61 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Battle Creek 5NW falls on 8 May and the median first autumn frost on 7 October, which leaves a median of 152 days between them.
In 1980 to 2025 the median growing season was 148 days. That is 5 days fewer than in 1949 to 1978.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.8 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1949 to 1978) | Recent period (1980 to 2025) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 8 May | 6 May | 11 May | 5 days later | +0.7 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 7 October | 7 October | 10 October | 3 days later | +1.4 days per decade |
| Growing days | 152 days | 153 days | 148 days | 5 days fewer | +0.8 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
72 years, 1949 to 2025A day with at least 54.0 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 123.6 mm (4.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 54.0 mm (2.1 in) | |
| 5 years | 71.4 mm (2.8 in) | |
| 10 years | 83.4 mm (3.3 in) | |
| 25 years | 99.1 mm (3.9 in) | |
| 50 years | 111.2 mm (4.4 in) | |
| 100 years | 123.6 mm (4.9 in) | Longer than the 72 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, 72 years of values from 1949 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: 163.6 mm (6.4 in) in 1978; 97.3 mm (3.8 in) in 2008; 96.3 mm (3.8 in) in 2015.

Climate Twins
1996 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 1996 to 2025, Battle Creek 5NW had a mean temperature of 9.8 C (49.7 F) and 956.2 mm (37.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Akron Canton AP (United States, 356 km away), New Castle 1 N (United States, 434 km away) and Springfield Wtp (United States, 293 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Akron Canton AP | United States | 356 km (221 mi) | 9.8 C (49.7 F) | 931.4 mm (36.7 in) | 0.46 |
| New Castle 1 N | United States | 434 km (270 mi) | 9.9 C (49.9 F) | 950.5 mm (37.4 in) | 0.49 |
| Springfield Wtp | United States | 293 km (182 mi) | 9.9 C (49.9 F) | 1,003.1 mm (39.5 in) | 0.49 |
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.
