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

125 years with a frost

Across 125 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Baltimore Customs House falls on 31 March and the median first autumn frost on 14 November, which leaves a median of 228 days between them.

In 1968 to 1998 the median growing season was 236 days. That is 15 days more than in 1873 to 1902.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.7 days per decade at this station.

Growing days228 days221 days236 days15 days more+1.7 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

123 years, 1871 to 1994

A day with at least 70.3 mm (2.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 161.6 mm (6.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years131.0 mm (5.2 in)
50 years146.3 mm (5.8 in)
100 years161.6 mm (6.4 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 123 years of values from 1871 to 1994.

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: 193.5 mm (7.6 in) in 1933; 155.2 mm (6.1 in) in 1971; 151.6 mm (6.0 in) in 1912.

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.
