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

83 years with a frost

Across 83 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Marion falls on 8 May and the median first autumn frost on 30 September, which leaves a median of 147 days between them.

In 1961 to 1999 the median growing season was 153 days. That is 15 days more than in 1902 to 1936.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Marion

First autumn frost30 September27 September3 October6 days later+0.9 days per decade
Growing days147 days138 days153 days15 days more+2.6 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

113 years, 1902 to 2025

A day with at least 54.6 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 141.0 mm (5.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Marion: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years

2 years54.6 mm (2.1 in)
5 years74.8 mm (2.9 in)

25 years108.9 mm (4.3 in)
50 years124.5 mm (4.9 in)
100 years141.0 mm (5.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 113 years of values from 1902 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: 158.8 mm (6.3 in) in 1921; 128.5 mm (5.1 in) in 2010; 122.4 mm (4.8 in) in 2024.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Marion, at 1975. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1975 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
