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

60 years with a frost

Across 60 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Wise 1SE falls on 29 April and the median first autumn frost on 17 October, which leaves a median of 172 days between them.

In 1994 to 2023 the median growing season was 177 days. That is 15 days more than in 1956 to 1993.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +4.9 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Wise 1SE
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1956 to 1993)	Recent period (1994 to 2023)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	29 April	1 May	25 April	6 days earlier	-2.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	17 October	9 October	21 October	12 days later	+2.4 days per decade
Growing days	172 days	162 days	177 days	15 days more	+4.9 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

67 years, 1956 to 2024

A day with at least 59.7 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 144.7 mm (5.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Wise 1SE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	59.7 mm (2.4 in)
5 years	76.0 mm (3.0 in)
10 years	89.0 mm (3.5 in)
25 years	108.4 mm (4.3 in)
50 years	125.4 mm (4.9 in)
100 years	144.7 mm (5.7 in)	Longer than the 67 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, 67 years of values from 1956 to 2024.

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: 139.7 mm (5.5 in) in 1977; 128.8 mm (5.1 in) in 1981; 123.2 mm (4.9 in) in 2011.

Station Changes

No change in the annual mean temperature of this station was found against its neighbours.

Climate Twins

2009 to 2023 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2009 to 2023, Wise 1SE had a mean temperature of 12.3 C (54.1 F) and 1,358.6 mm (53.5 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Fletcher 3 W (United States, 172 km away), Oconaluftee (United States, 175 km away) and Blairsville Exp STN (United States, 267 km away).

Climate twins of Wise 1SE: stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate is closest to its 2009 to 2023 climate
Twin station	Country	Distance away	Mean temperature, 1961-1990	Rain a year, 1961-1990	Climate difference
Fletcher 3 W	United States	172 km (107 mi)	12.6 C (54.6 F)	1,336.2 mm (52.6 in)	0.58
Oconaluftee	United States	175 km (109 mi)	11.8 C (53.2 F)	1,387.2 mm (54.6 in)	0.65
Blairsville Exp STN	United States	267 km (166 mi)	12.6 C (54.6 F)	1,444.6 mm (56.9 in)	0.65

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.
