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

62 years with a frost

Across 62 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Put-In-Bay falls on 14 April and the median first autumn frost on 6 November, which leaves a median of 206 days between them.

In 1962 to 1995 the median growing season was 206 days. That is 1 day more than in 1917 to 1952.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.1 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Put-In-Bay
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1917 to 1952)	Recent period (1962 to 1995)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	14 April	16 April	12 April	4 days earlier	-0.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	6 November	7 November	5 November	2 days earlier	+0.2 days per decade
Growing days	206 days	205 days	206 days	1 day more	+1.1 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

71 years, 1917 to 1995

A day with at least 46.3 mm (1.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 124.6 mm (4.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Put-In-Bay: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	46.3 mm (1.8 in)
5 years	61.6 mm (2.4 in)
10 years	73.7 mm (2.9 in)
25 years	91.6 mm (3.6 in)
50 years	107.1 mm (4.2 in)
100 years	124.6 mm (4.9 in)	Longer than the 71 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, 71 years of values from 1917 to 1995.

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: 135.6 mm (5.3 in) in 1919; 122.7 mm (4.8 in) in 1966; 88.9 mm (3.5 in) in 1926.
