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.

First autumn frost	8 October	n/a	11 October	n/a	+1.5 days per decade
Growing days	161 days	n/a	162 days	n/a	+1.4 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

104 years, 1915 to 2025

A day with at least 59.5 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 133.3 mm (5.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Clay Ctr 6 ESE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	59.5 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	80.1 mm (3.2 in)
10 years	93.4 mm (3.7 in)
25 years	109.8 mm (4.3 in)
50 years	121.7 mm (4.8 in)
100 years	133.3 mm (5.2 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 104 years of values from 1915 to 2025.

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: 175.3 mm (6.9 in) in 1998; 118.1 mm (4.6 in) in 1977; 114.8 mm (4.5 in) in 2023.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Clay Ctr 6 ESE, at 1959 and 1968. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1959 ran 0.3 C (0.6 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1968 ran 0.8 C (1.4 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Clay Ctr 6 ESE, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1959	+0.3	+0.6	likely	5
1968	-0.8	-1.4	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.
