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

116 years with a frost

Across 116 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Alexandria falls on 6 May and the median first autumn frost on 1 October, which leaves a median of 152 days between them.

In 1993 to 2024 the median growing season was 157 days. That is 12 days more than in 1894 to 1936.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.2 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost1 October27 September7 October10 days later+1.2 days per decade
Growing days152 days145 days157 days12 days more+2.2 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

115 years, 1894 to 2025

A day with at least 52.5 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 129.9 mm (5.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years101.7 mm (4.0 in)
50 years115.5 mm (4.5 in)
100 years129.9 mm (5.1 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 115 years of values from 1894 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: 148.1 mm (5.8 in) in 1942; 137.2 mm (5.4 in) in 2019; 123.2 mm (4.9 in) in 2007.

Climate Twins

2009 to 2024 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2009 to 2024, Alexandria had a mean temperature of 8.1 C (46.6 F) and 626.8 mm (24.7 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are NE Nebraska Exp STN (United States, 157 km away), Cherokee (United States, 208 km away) and Sanborn (United States, 180 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.
