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

94 years with a frost

Across 94 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Fulton falls on 16 April and the median first autumn frost on 20 October, which leaves a median of 185 days between them.

In 1984 to 2015 the median growing season was 190 days. That is 10 days more than in 1901 to 1943.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Fulton
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1901 to 1943)	Recent period (1984 to 2015)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	16 April	20 April	11 April	9 days earlier	-1.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	20 October	15 October	19 October	4 days later	+0.5 days per decade
Growing days	185 days	180 days	190 days	10 days more	+1.6 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

112 years, 1894 to 2015

A day with at least 66.4 mm (2.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 149.9 mm (5.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Fulton: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	66.4 mm (2.6 in)
5 years	87.2 mm (3.4 in)
10 years	101.6 mm (4.0 in)
25 years	120.5 mm (4.7 in)
50 years	135.0 mm (5.3 in)
100 years	149.9 mm (5.9 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 112 years of values from 1894 to 2015.

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: 139.2 mm (5.5 in) in 2014; 136.4 mm (5.4 in) in 1993; 128.8 mm (5.1 in) in 1905.
