The fitted trend in annual mean temperature here over 1912 to 1969 is 0.02 C (-0.12 to 0.15) per decade. The interval includes zero, so the trend is not clearly different from zero. In Fahrenheit: 0.03 F (-0.21 to 0.27) per decade. The slope is a straight line fitted to 49 complete years; the brackets give its 95 percent interval.

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

49 years with a frost

Across 49 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Big St Germain Dam falls on 4 June and the median first autumn frost on 11 September, which leaves a median of 98 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +6.1 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost11 Septembern/a11 Septembern/a+2.9 days per decade
Growing days98 daysn/a108 daysn/a+6.1 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

56 years, 1911 to 1971

A day with at least 54.9 mm (2.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 139.1 mm (5.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

50 years121.7 mm (4.8 in)
100 years139.1 mm (5.5 in)Longer than the 56 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, 56 years of values from 1911 to 1971.

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: 123.4 mm (4.9 in) in 1942; 117.1 mm (4.6 in) in 1959; 109.5 mm (4.3 in) in 1969.
