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

97 years with a frost

Across 97 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Lake Placid 2 S falls on 3 June and the median first autumn frost on 12 September, which leaves a median of 101 days between them.

In 1987 to 2023 the median growing season was 107 days. That is 12 days more than in 1909 to 1941.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.5 days per decade at this station.

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

96 years, 1909 to 2025

A day with at least 49.3 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 105.8 mm (4.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 96 years of values from 1909 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: 108.2 mm (4.3 in) in 1999; 94.7 mm (3.7 in) in 1998; 89.4 mm (3.5 in) in 1918.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Lake Placid 2 S, at 1979 and 1992. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1979 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).
  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1992 ran 0.4 C (0.6 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

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.

Climate Twins

2002 to 2023 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2002 to 2023, Lake Placid 2 S had a mean temperature of 6.0 C (42.8 F) and 1,169.9 mm (46.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Rochester (United States, 106 km away), Tully Heiberg Forest (United States, 241 km away) and East Hiram (United States, 262 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.
