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

71 years with a frost

Across 71 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Milesville 5 NE falls on 11 May and the median first autumn frost on 1 October, which leaves a median of 141 days between them.

In 1994 to 2025 the median growing season was 145 days. That is 5 days more than in 1912 to 1982.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Milesville 5 NE
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1912 to 1982)	Recent period (1994 to 2025)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	11 May	11 May	11 May	no change	-0.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	1 October	27 September	4 October	7 days later	+1.1 days per decade
Growing days	141 days	140 days	145 days	5 days more	+1.6 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

84 years, 1912 to 2025

A day with at least 49.0 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 137.2 mm (5.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Milesville 5 NE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	49.0 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	68.8 mm (2.7 in)
10 years	83.3 mm (3.3 in)
25 years	103.4 mm (4.1 in)
50 years	119.7 mm (4.7 in)
100 years	137.2 mm (5.4 in)	Longer than the 84 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, 84 years of values from 1912 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: 164.8 mm (6.5 in) in 1987; 123.4 mm (4.9 in) in 1915; 102.9 mm (4.1 in) in 2023.

Climate Twins

2010 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2010 to 2025, Milesville 5 NE had a mean temperature of 8.8 C (47.9 F) and 508.6 mm (20.0 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Murdo (United States, 101 km away), Springview 2NW (United States, 238 km away) and Academy 2NE (United States, 236 km away).

Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Murdo	United States	101 km (63 mi)	8.8 C (47.9 F)	456.3 mm (18.0 in)	0.83
Springview 2NW	United States	238 km (148 mi)	8.7 C (47.6 F)	537.7 mm (21.2 in)	0.83
Academy 2NE	United States	236 km (147 mi)	9.0 C (48.1 F)	548.5 mm (21.6 in)	0.87

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.
