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

80 years with a frost

Across 80 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Newport falls on 15 May and the median first autumn frost on 27 September, which leaves a median of 134 days between them.

In 1988 to 2022 the median growing season was 140 days. That is 9 days more than in 1931 to 1967.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.8 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Newport
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1931 to 1967)	Recent period (1988 to 2022)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	15 May	17 May	14 May	3 days earlier	-0.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	27 September	21 September	2 October	11 days later	+1.3 days per decade
Growing days	134 days	131 days	140 days	9 days more	+1.8 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

70 years, 1949 to 2022

A day with at least 47.3 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 115.5 mm (4.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Newport: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	47.3 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	64.0 mm (2.5 in)
10 years	75.6 mm (3.0 in)
25 years	91.1 mm (3.6 in)
50 years	103.1 mm (4.1 in)
100 years	115.5 mm (4.5 in)	Longer than the 70 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, 70 years of values from 1949 to 2022.

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: 104.1 mm (4.1 in) in 2011; 91.4 mm (3.6 in) in 2012; 89.2 mm (3.5 in) in 2004.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Newport, at 1981 and 2004. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1981 ran 0.3 C (0.6 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2004 ran 0.5 C (1.0 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Newport, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1981	+0.3	+0.6	likely	5
2004	-0.5	-1.0	likely	5

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.

Climate Twins

2006 to 2022 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2006 to 2022, Newport had a mean temperature of 5.9 C (42.6 F) and 1,170.8 mm (46.1 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Rochester (United States, 131 km away), Vanceboro No 2 (United States, 379 km away) and Chasm Falls (United States, 161 km away).

Climate twins of Newport: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2006 to 2022 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Rochester	United States	131 km (81 mi)	5.9 C (42.7 F)	1,194.5 mm (47.0 in)	0.83
Vanceboro No 2	United States	379 km (235 mi)	5.9 C (42.6 F)	1,105.9 mm (43.5 in)	0.87
Chasm Falls	United States	161 km (100 mi)	5.9 C (42.7 F)	1,097.3 mm (43.2 in)	0.88

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.
