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

70 years with a frost

Across 70 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Louisiana Starks Nurse falls on 24 April and the median first autumn frost on 11 October, which leaves a median of 167 days between them.

In 1942 to 1983 the median growing season was 166 days. That is 7 days fewer than in 1898 to 1930.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -1.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Louisiana Starks Nurse
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1898 to 1930)	Recent period (1942 to 1983)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	24 April	23 April	25 April	2 days later	+0.7 days per decade
First autumn frost	11 October	12 October	9 October	3 days earlier	-0.2 days per decade
Growing days	167 days	173 days	166 days	7 days fewer	-1.0 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

77 years, 1898 to 1983

A day with at least 62.2 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 164.8 mm (6.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Louisiana Starks Nurse: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	62.2 mm (2.4 in)
5 years	84.5 mm (3.3 in)
10 years	101.1 mm (4.0 in)
25 years	124.6 mm (4.9 in)
50 years	143.9 mm (5.7 in)
100 years	164.8 mm (6.5 in)	Longer than the 77 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, 77 years of values from 1898 to 1983.

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: 164.6 mm (6.5 in) in 1916; 151.1 mm (5.9 in) in 1966; 127.0 mm (5.0 in) in 1941.
