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
70 years with a frostAcross 70 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Ford City 4 S Dam falls on 8 May and the median first autumn frost on 12 October, which leaves a median of 158 days between them.
In 1993 to 2025 the median growing season was 160 days. That is 8 days more than in 1944 to 1977.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.3 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1944 to 1977) | Recent period (1993 to 2025) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 8 May | 9 May | 6 May | 3 days earlier | -0.4 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 12 October | 6 October | 14 October | 8 days later | +1.9 days per decade |
| Growing days | 158 days | 152 days | 160 days | 8 days more | +2.3 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
82 years, 1944 to 2025A day with at least 52.4 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 140.3 mm (5.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 52.4 mm (2.1 in) | |
| 5 years | 69.5 mm (2.7 in) | |
| 10 years | 83.1 mm (3.3 in) | |
| 25 years | 103.2 mm (4.1 in) | |
| 50 years | 120.6 mm (4.7 in) | |
| 100 years | 140.3 mm (5.5 in) | Longer than the 82 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, 82 years of values from 1944 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: 177.8 mm (7.0 in) in 2004; 120.7 mm (4.8 in) in 1954; 112.3 mm (4.4 in) in 2015.

Climate Twins
2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2011 to 2025, Ford City 4 S Dam had a mean temperature of 10.4 C (50.7 F) and 1,244.9 mm (49.0 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Stamford 5 N (United States, 503 km away), Canoe Brook (United States, 435 km away) and Essex Fells Svc Bldg (United States, 440 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stamford 5 N | United States | 503 km (313 mi) | 10.4 C (50.7 F) | 1,259.4 mm (49.6 in) | 0.65 |
| Canoe Brook | United States | 435 km (270 mi) | 10.3 C (50.6 F) | 1,269.5 mm (50.0 in) | 0.66 |
| Essex Fells Svc Bldg | United States | 440 km (273 mi) | 10.4 C (50.6 F) | 1,240.6 mm (48.8 in) | 0.67 |
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.
