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

24 years with a frost

Across 24 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Farmington 4 NE falls on 17 May and the median first autumn frost on 5 October, which leaves a median of 142 days between them.

Frost dates and growing season at Farmington 4 NE
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1939 to 1976)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	17 May	n/a	17 May	n/a	n/a
First autumn frost	5 October	n/a	5 October	n/a	n/a
Growing days	142 days	n/a	142 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

58 years, 1915 to 1977

A day with at least 20.6 mm (0.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 57.5 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Farmington 4 NE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	20.6 mm (0.8 in)
5 years	28.5 mm (1.1 in)
10 years	34.5 mm (1.4 in)
25 years	42.9 mm (1.7 in)
50 years	49.9 mm (2.0 in)
100 years	57.5 mm (2.3 in)	Longer than the 58 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, 58 years of values from 1915 to 1977.

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: 48.8 mm (1.9 in) in 1921; 46.2 mm (1.8 in) in 1969; 41.1 mm (1.6 in) in 1954.
