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

64 years with a frost

Across 64 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Olympia Priest Pt Park falls on 23 April and the median first autumn frost on 30 October, which leaves a median of 192 days between them.

In 1921 to 1955 the median growing season was 192 days. That is 6 days more than in 1878 to 1913.

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

Frost dates and growing season at Olympia Priest Pt Park
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1878 to 1913)	Recent period (1921 to 1955)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	23 April	28 April	20 April	8 days earlier	-1.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	30 October	25 October	30 October	5 days later	+0.1 days per decade
Growing days	192 days	186 days	192 days	6 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

66 years, 1878 to 1955

A day with at least 65.1 mm (2.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 111.5 mm (4.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Olympia Priest Pt Park: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	65.1 mm (2.6 in)
5 years	81.6 mm (3.2 in)
10 years	90.6 mm (3.6 in)
25 years	100.2 mm (3.9 in)
50 years	106.3 mm (4.2 in)
100 years	111.5 mm (4.4 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 1878 to 1955.

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: 114.0 mm (4.5 in) in 1935; 102.9 mm (4.1 in) in 1908; 95.8 mm (3.8 in) in 1910.
