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 frostAcross 75 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Montpelier AP falls on 15 May and the median first autumn frost on 27 September, which leaves a median of 137 days between them.
In 1995 to 2025 the median growing season was 144 days. That is 16 days more than in 1949 to 1979.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.5 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1949 to 1979) | Recent period (1995 to 2025) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 15 May | 18 May | 14 May | 4 days earlier | -1.1 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 27 September | 22 September | 4 October | 12 days later | +2.4 days per decade |
| Growing days | 137 days | 128 days | 144 days | 16 days more | +3.5 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
74 years, 1949 to 2025A day with at least 48.2 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 140.5 mm (5.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 48.2 mm (1.9 in) | |
| 5 years | 64.7 mm (2.5 in) | |
| 10 years | 78.3 mm (3.1 in) | |
| 25 years | 99.4 mm (3.9 in) | |
| 50 years | 118.3 mm (4.7 in) | |
| 100 years | 140.5 mm (5.5 in) | Longer than the 74 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, 74 years of values from 1949 to 2025.
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: 134.1 mm (5.3 in) in 2023; 133.9 mm (5.3 in) in 2011; 99.1 mm (3.9 in) in 1981.

Climate Twins
2011 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990Over 2011 to 2025, Montpelier AP had a mean temperature of 6.8 C (44.2 F) and 1,006.9 mm (39.6 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Morrisville 6 SW (United States, 296 km away), Little Falls City Rsch (United States, 225 km away) and Mt Sunapee (United States, 105 km away).
| Twin station | Country | Distance away | Mean temperature, 1961-1990 | Rain a year, 1961-1990 | Climate difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morrisville 6 SW | United States | 296 km (184 mi) | 6.8 C (44.2 F) | 987.9 mm (38.9 in) | 0.60 |
| Little Falls City Rsch | United States | 225 km (140 mi) | 6.9 C (44.5 F) | 1,001.3 mm (39.4 in) | 0.62 |
| Mt Sunapee | United States | 105 km (65 mi) | 7.0 C (44.5 F) | 1,029.7 mm (40.5 in) | 0.63 |
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.
