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 Vicksburg Military Pk falls on 20 March and the median first autumn frost on 15 November, which leaves a median of 240 days between them.

Frost dates and growing season at Vicksburg Military Pk
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1968 to 1998)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	20 March	n/a	20 March	n/a	-0.6 days per decade
First autumn frost	15 November	n/a	15 November	n/a	+3.5 days per decade
Growing days	240 days	n/a	240 days	n/a	+4.1 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

33 years, 1968 to 2000

Rainfall return levels at Vicksburg Military Pk: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	95.6 mm (3.8 in)
5 years	128.5 mm (5.1 in)
10 years	152.1 mm (6.0 in)
25 years	184.2 mm (7.3 in)
50 years	209.8 mm (8.3 in)	Longer than the 33 years of record
100 years	236.8 mm (9.3 in)	Longer than the 33 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, 33 years of values from 1968 to 2000.

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: 194.3 mm (7.6 in) in 1973; 190.5 mm (7.5 in) in 1975; 173.7 mm (6.8 in) in 1987.
