Annual mean temperature at Max as warming stripes, 1930 to 2025 One stripe for each of 82 complete years at Max, 1930 to 2025. Blue stripes are years cooler than the station's own mean of 4.3 C (39.7 F); red stripes are warmer. The coolest year was 1950, at 1.4 C (34.6 F), and the warmest was 1931, at 7.2 C (44.9 F). The strongest colour marks a difference of 3.0 C (5.4 F). 1930: 5.1 C, +0.8 C from the station mean1931: 7.2 C, +2.9 C from the station mean1932: 4.2 C, -0.1 C from the station mean1933: 4.5 C, +0.2 C from the station mean1934: 5.3 C, +1.0 C from the station mean1935: 2.8 C, -1.5 C from the station mean1936: 2.5 C, -1.7 C from the station mean1937: 3.1 C, -1.2 C from the station mean1938: 4.4 C, +0.1 C from the station mean1939: 4.3 C, +0.1 C from the station mean1940: 4.1 C, -0.2 C from the station mean1941: 4.4 C, +0.1 C from the station mean1942: 3.9 C, -0.4 C from the station mean1945: 3.4 C, -0.9 C from the station mean1946: 4.5 C, +0.2 C from the station mean1948: 3.5 C, -0.8 C from the station mean1949: 3.6 C, -0.7 C from the station mean1950: 1.4 C, -2.9 C from the station mean1951: 1.7 C, -2.6 C from the station mean1952: 4.7 C, +0.4 C from the station mean1953: 5.2 C, +0.9 C from the station mean1955: 3.3 C, -1.0 C from the station mean1956: 3.6 C, -0.7 C from the station mean1957: 4.1 C, -0.2 C from the station mean1958: 4.0 C, -0.3 C from the station mean1959: 3.2 C, -1.1 C from the station mean1960: 3.6 C, -0.7 C from the station mean1961: 4.7 C, +0.4 C from the station mean1962: 4.0 C, -0.3 C from the station mean1964: 4.4 C, +0.2 C from the station mean1965: 3.1 C, -1.2 C from the station mean1966: 3.6 C, -0.7 C from the station mean1967: 4.3 C, 0.0 C from the station mean1968: 4.1 C, -0.2 C from the station mean1969: 2.9 C, -1.4 C from the station mean1970: 2.4 C, -1.9 C from the station mean1972: 2.2 C, -2.1 C from the station mean1973: 4.7 C, +0.4 C from the station mean1975: 3.4 C, -0.9 C from the station mean1976: 4.4 C, +0.1 C from the station mean1977: 4.5 C, +0.2 C from the station mean1979: 2.3 C, -2.0 C from the station mean1980: 4.2 C, -0.1 C from the station mean1981: 5.7 C, +1.4 C from the station mean1983: 5.5 C, +1.2 C from the station mean1984: 5.2 C, +0.9 C from the station mean1985: 2.9 C, -1.4 C from the station mean1986: 5.1 C, +0.8 C from the station mean1987: 7.1 C, +2.8 C from the station mean1988: 5.5 C, +1.3 C from the station mean1989: 3.5 C, -0.7 C from the station mean1990: 5.5 C, +1.2 C from the station mean1991: 5.0 C, +0.7 C from the station mean1992: 4.7 C, +0.4 C from the station mean1993: 3.2 C, -1.1 C from the station mean1994: 4.0 C, -0.3 C from the station mean1995: 3.6 C, -0.7 C from the station mean1996: 2.1 C, -2.2 C from the station mean1997: 4.1 C, -0.2 C from the station mean1998: 5.0 C, +0.7 C from the station mean2003: 4.3 C, 0.0 C from the station mean2005: 5.6 C, +1.3 C from the station mean2006: 6.8 C, +2.5 C from the station mean2007: 5.4 C, +1.1 C from the station mean2008: 3.9 C, -0.4 C from the station mean2009: 3.5 C, -0.8 C from the station mean2010: 4.8 C, +0.5 C from the station mean2011: 4.8 C, +0.5 C from the station mean2012: 6.7 C, +2.4 C from the station mean2013: 3.5 C, -0.8 C from the station mean2014: 3.6 C, -0.7 C from the station mean2015: 6.3 C, +2.0 C from the station mean2016: 6.7 C, +2.4 C from the station mean2017: 5.1 C, +0.8 C from the station mean2018: 3.8 C, -0.5 C from the station mean2019: 3.0 C, -1.3 C from the station mean2020: 5.5 C, +1.2 C from the station mean2021: 6.2 C, +1.9 C from the station mean2022: 3.9 C, -0.4 C from the station mean2023: 5.2 C, +0.9 C from the station mean2024: 5.9 C, +1.6 C from the station mean2025: 5.1 C, +0.8 C from the station mean1930194019501960197019801990200020102020

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

82 years with a frost

Across 82 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Max falls on 15 May and the median first autumn frost on 21 September, which leaves a median of 129 days between them.

In 1991 to 2025 the median growing season was 141 days. That is 23 days more than in 1930 to 1964.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.8 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost21 September15 September29 September14 days later+2.2 days per decade
Growing days129 days118 days141 days23 days more+3.8 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

88 years, 1932 to 2025

A day with at least 41.7 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 100.8 mm (4.0 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, 88 years of values from 1932 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: 100.3 mm (3.9 in) in 1951; 99.1 mm (3.9 in) in 1962; 89.4 mm (3.5 in) in 2006.

No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.

Climate Twins

2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2011 to 2025, Max had a mean temperature of 5.0 C (41.0 F) and 464.1 mm (18.3 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Edgeley 3WNW (United States, 250 km away), Hebron (United States, 116 km away) and Summit 1 W (United States, 428 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.
