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

77 years with a frost

Across 77 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Gaylord falls on 26 May and the median first autumn frost on 23 September, which leaves a median of 122 days between them.

In 1991 to 2021 the median growing season was 129 days. That is 18 days more than in 1893 to 1970.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.9 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Gaylord
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1893 to 1970)	Recent period (1991 to 2021)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	26 May	28 May	22 May	6 days earlier	-0.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	23 September	15 September	1 October	16 days later	+2.0 days per decade
Growing days	122 days	111 days	129 days	18 days more	+2.9 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

86 years, 1901 to 2021

A day with at least 48.6 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 113.5 mm (4.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Gaylord: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	48.6 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	64.6 mm (2.5 in)
10 years	75.7 mm (3.0 in)
25 years	90.4 mm (3.6 in)
50 years	101.7 mm (4.0 in)
100 years	113.5 mm (4.5 in)	Longer than the 86 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, 86 years of values from 1901 to 2021.

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: 127.0 mm (5.0 in) in 1995; 114.0 mm (4.5 in) in 2020; 95.5 mm (3.8 in) in 1945.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Gaylord, at 2015. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2015 ran 0.7 C (1.3 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
2015	-0.7	-1.3	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

2007 to 2021 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2007 to 2021, Gaylord had a mean temperature of 5.9 C (42.5 F) and 918.1 mm (36.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Glen Allan (Canada, 351 km away), Fergus Shand Dam (Canada, 377 km away) and Midhurst (Canada, 396 km away).

Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Glen Allan	Canada	351 km (218 mi)	6.0 C (42.8 F)	914.3 mm (36.0 in)	0.53
Fergus Shand Dam	Canada	377 km (234 mi)	5.6 C (42.1 F)	937.2 mm (36.9 in)	0.55
Midhurst	Canada	396 km (246 mi)	6.0 C (42.8 F)	899.1 mm (35.4 in)	0.60

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.
