Last spring frost	25 April	4 May	18 April	16 days earlier	-3.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	10 October	8 October	12 October	4 days later	+1.4 days per decade
Growing days	166 days	156 days	178 days	22 days more	+4.9 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

75 years, 1942 to 2024

A day with at least 76.4 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 169.4 mm (6.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Waynesville 2 W: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	76.4 mm (3.0 in)
5 years	98.8 mm (3.9 in)
10 years	114.6 mm (4.5 in)
25 years	135.7 mm (5.3 in)
50 years	152.2 mm (6.0 in)
100 years	169.4 mm (6.7 in)	Longer than the 75 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, 75 years of values from 1942 to 2024.

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: 157.0 mm (6.2 in) in 2015; 150.4 mm (5.9 in) in 2007; 136.1 mm (5.4 in) in 2017.

Climate Twins

2003 to 2022 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2003 to 2022, Waynesville 2 W had a mean temperature of 13.4 C (56.1 F) and 1,208.8 mm (47.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Louisville Intl AP (United States, 571 km away), Elizabethtown (United States, 348 km away) and Springfield Exp STN (United States, 500 km away).

Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Louisville Intl AP	United States	571 km (355 mi)	13.4 C (56.2 F)	1,128.4 mm (44.4 in)	0.47
Elizabethtown	United States	348 km (216 mi)	13.4 C (56.1 F)	1,252.8 mm (49.3 in)	0.51
Springfield Exp STN	United States	500 km (311 mi)	13.5 C (56.3 F)	1,239.1 mm (48.8 in)	0.52

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.
