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
69 years with a frostAcross 69 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Ephraim falls on 24 May and the median first autumn frost on 22 September, which leaves a median of 123 days between them.
In 1991 to 2025 the median growing season was 118 days. That is 7 days fewer than in 1951 to 1981.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -1.7 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1951 to 1981) | Recent period (1991 to 2025) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 24 May | 24 May | 25 May | 1 day later | +0.8 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 22 September | 24 September | 20 September | 4 days earlier | -0.9 days per decade |
| Growing days | 123 days | 125 days | 118 days | 7 days fewer | -1.7 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
66 years, 1950 to 2025A day with at least 20.5 mm (0.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 48.9 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 20.5 mm (0.8 in) | |
| 5 years | 26.4 mm (1.0 in) | |
| 10 years | 31.0 mm (1.2 in) | |
| 25 years | 37.5 mm (1.5 in) | |
| 50 years | 42.9 mm (1.7 in) | |
| 100 years | 48.9 mm (1.9 in) | Longer than the 66 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, 66 years of values from 1950 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: 56.1 mm (2.2 in) in 1966; 48.8 mm (1.9 in) in 1970; 38.6 mm (1.5 in) in 2010.
