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

75 years with a frost

Across 75 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Wardensville R M Farm falls on 7 May and the median first autumn frost on 5 October, which leaves a median of 152 days between them.

In 1978 to 2011 the median growing season was 158 days. That is 10 days more than in 1925 to 1962.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.3 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Wardensville R M Farm
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1925 to 1962)	Recent period (1978 to 2011)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	7 May	6 May	4 May	2 days earlier	-1.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	5 October	3 October	6 October	3 days later	+1.3 days per decade
Growing days	152 days	148 days	158 days	10 days more	+2.3 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

86 years, 1918 to 2014

A day with at least 55.3 mm (2.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 145.2 mm (5.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Wardensville R M Farm: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	55.3 mm (2.2 in)
5 years	75.0 mm (3.0 in)
10 years	89.7 mm (3.5 in)
25 years	110.2 mm (4.3 in)
50 years	127.0 mm (5.0 in)
100 years	145.2 mm (5.7 in)	Longer than the 86 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, 86 years of values from 1918 to 2014.

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: 136.4 mm (5.4 in) in 1954; 127.0 mm (5.0 in) in 1996; 121.4 mm (4.8 in) in 1937.
