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

60 years with a frost

Across 60 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Pinehurst Sthrn Pines falls on 4 April and the median first autumn frost on 2 November, which leaves a median of 209 days between them.

In 1942 to 1971 the median growing season was 208 days. That is 2 days fewer than in 1904 to 1941.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.3 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Pinehurst Sthrn Pines
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1904 to 1941)	Recent period (1942 to 1971)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	4 April	10 April	1 April	9 days earlier	-0.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	2 November	2 November	2 November	no change	-0.6 days per decade
Growing days	209 days	210 days	208 days	2 days fewer	-0.3 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

67 years, 1904 to 1977

A day with at least 73.7 mm (2.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 223.4 mm (8.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Pinehurst Sthrn Pines: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	73.7 mm (2.9 in)
5 years	101.1 mm (4.0 in)
10 years	123.5 mm (4.9 in)
25 years	157.7 mm (6.2 in)
50 years	188.1 mm (7.4 in)
100 years	223.4 mm (8.8 in)	Longer than the 67 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, 67 years of values from 1904 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: 180.6 mm (7.1 in) in 1954; 176.0 mm (6.9 in) in 1964; 161.8 mm (6.4 in) in 1944.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Pinehurst Sthrn Pines, at 1938 and 1961. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1938 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1961 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Pinehurst Sthrn Pines, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1938	+0.4	+0.7	likely	5
1961	+0.2	+0.3	possible	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.
