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

69 years with a frost

Across 69 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Samarkand falls on 26 March and the median first autumn frost on 30 October, which leaves a median of 219 days between them.

In 1975 to 2005 the median growing season was 226 days. That is 16 days more than in 1936 to 1965.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +5.4 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost30 October28 October9 November12 days later+3.4 days per decade
Growing days219 days210 days226 days16 days more+5.4 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

71 years, 1936 to 2006

A day with at least 26.8 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 58.1 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 71 years of values from 1936 to 2006.

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: 54.9 mm (2.2 in) in 2004; 52.5 mm (2.1 in) in 1977; 46.1 mm (1.8 in) in 1976.
