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

126 years with a frost

Across 126 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Fairbury 7S falls on 27 April and the median first autumn frost on 10 October, which leaves a median of 167 days between them.

In 1994 to 2025 the median growing season was 173 days. That is 15 days more than in 1896 to 1925.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.6 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost10 October8 October14 October6 days later+0.3 days per decade
Growing days167 days158 days173 days15 days more+0.6 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

129 years, 1893 to 2025

A day with at least 64.0 mm (2.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 178.9 mm (7.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

2 years64.0 mm (2.5 in)

25 years134.0 mm (5.3 in)
50 years155.6 mm (6.1 in)
100 years178.9 mm (7.0 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 129 years of values from 1893 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: 194.3 mm (7.6 in) in 1950; 193.0 mm (7.6 in) in 1992; 159.0 mm (6.3 in) in 1927.

Climate Twins

2010 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2010 to 2025, Fairbury 7S had a mean temperature of 11.2 C (52.1 F) and 731.8 mm (28.8 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Tuttle Creek Lake (United States, 102 km away), Glen Elder Lake (United States, 114 km away) and Auburn 5 ESE (United States, 128 km away).

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.
