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

23 years with a frost

Across 23 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Emigrant Pass Hwy STN falls on 30 May and the median first autumn frost on 28 September, which leaves a median of 119 days between them.

Frost dates and growing season at Emigrant Pass Hwy STN
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1964 to 1994)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	30 May	n/a	30 May	n/a	n/a
First autumn frost	28 September	n/a	28 September	n/a	n/a
Growing days	119 days	n/a	119 days	n/a	n/a

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

40 years, 1955 to 1999

A day with at least 22.1 mm (0.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 51.4 mm (2.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Emigrant Pass Hwy STN: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	22.1 mm (0.9 in)
5 years	29.5 mm (1.2 in)
10 years	34.6 mm (1.4 in)
25 years	41.2 mm (1.6 in)
50 years	46.2 mm (1.8 in)	Longer than the 40 years of record
100 years	51.4 mm (2.0 in)	Longer than the 40 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, 40 years of values from 1955 to 1999.

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: 48.3 mm (1.9 in) in 1968; 48.3 mm (1.9 in) in 1996; 39.1 mm (1.5 in) in 1994.
