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.

Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1959 to 2011)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	27 June	n/a	26 June	n/a	-1.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	4 July	n/a	5 July	n/a	+4.8 days per decade
Growing days	8 days	n/a	12 days	n/a	+6.2 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

65 years, 1913 to 2007

A day with at least 25.5 mm (1.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 59.0 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Austin 3 S: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	25.5 mm (1.0 in)
5 years	33.6 mm (1.3 in)
10 years	39.3 mm (1.5 in)
25 years	46.9 mm (1.8 in)
50 years	52.9 mm (2.1 in)
100 years	59.0 mm (2.3 in)	Longer than the 65 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, 65 years of values from 1913 to 2007.

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: 51.8 mm (2.0 in) in 1984; 50.3 mm (2.0 in) in 1995; 47.2 mm (1.9 in) in 2007.
