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
74 years with a frostAcross 74 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Rye Patch Dam falls on 30 May and the median first autumn frost on 17 September, which leaves a median of 111 days between them.
In 1981 to 2023 the median growing season was 112 days. That is 5 days more than in 1936 to 1966.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.6 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1936 to 1966) | Recent period (1981 to 2023) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 30 May | 29 May | 30 May | 1 day later | -0.3 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 17 September | 18 September | 19 September | 1 day later | +1.2 days per decade |
| Growing days | 111 days | 107 days | 112 days | 5 days more | +1.6 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
78 years, 1936 to 2023A day with at least 19.3 mm (0.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 47.9 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 19.3 mm (0.8 in) | |
| 5 years | 25.7 mm (1.0 in) | |
| 10 years | 30.3 mm (1.2 in) | |
| 25 years | 36.8 mm (1.4 in) | |
| 50 years | 42.1 mm (1.7 in) | |
| 100 years | 47.9 mm (1.9 in) | Longer than the 78 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, 78 years of values from 1936 to 2023.
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: 50.8 mm (2.0 in) in 1967; 42.9 mm (1.7 in) in 2018; 35.6 mm (1.4 in) in 1965.

Climate Twins
2002 to 2023 against 1961 to 1990Over 2002 to 2023, Rye Patch Dam had a mean temperature of 10.7 C (51.3 F) and 191.8 mm (7.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Juntura 9 ENE (United States, 372 km away), Leonard Creek Rch - Denio 33S (United States, 122 km away) and Glenns Ferry (United States, 370 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Juntura 9 ENE | United States | 372 km (231 mi) | 10.6 C (51.1 F) | 281.4 mm (11.1 in) | 0.59 |
| Leonard Creek Rch - Denio 33S | United States | 122 km (76 mi) | 10.6 C (51.0 F) | 215.3 mm (8.5 in) | 0.61 |
| Glenns Ferry | United States | 370 km (230 mi) | 11.0 C (51.7 F) | 262.4 mm (10.3 in) | 0.68 |
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.
