Frost dates and growing season at Elida
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1965 to 2011)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	23 April	n/a	27 April	n/a	+1.8 days per decade
First autumn frost	22 October	n/a	19 October	n/a	-1.0 days per decade
Growing days	186 days	n/a	177 days	n/a	-2.8 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

87 years, 1916 to 2011

A day with at least 44.9 mm (1.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 143.7 mm (5.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Elida: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	44.9 mm (1.8 in)
5 years	64.0 mm (2.5 in)
10 years	79.1 mm (3.1 in)
25 years	101.7 mm (4.0 in)
50 years	121.4 mm (4.8 in)
100 years	143.7 mm (5.7 in)	Longer than the 87 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, 87 years of values from 1916 to 2011.

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: 184.4 mm (7.3 in) in 2002; 134.6 mm (5.3 in) in 1993; 101.6 mm (4.0 in) in 1921.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Elida, at 1976. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1976 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Elida, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1976	+0.4	+0.7	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.
