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

20 years with a frost

Across 20 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Clare Post Office falls on 17 September and the median first autumn frost on 3 June, which leaves a median of 257 days between them.

Frost dates and growing season at Clare Post Office
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1957 to 1981)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	17 September	n/a	17 September	n/a	n/a
First autumn frost	3 June	n/a	3 June	n/a	n/a
Growing days	257 days	n/a	257 days	n/a	n/a

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

119 years, 1862 to 1989

A day with at least 37.5 mm (1.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 109.8 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Clare Post Office: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	37.5 mm (1.5 in)
5 years	51.9 mm (2.0 in)
10 years	63.2 mm (2.5 in)
25 years	79.7 mm (3.1 in)
50 years	93.9 mm (3.7 in)
100 years	109.8 mm (4.3 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 119 years of values from 1862 to 1989.

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: 111.8 mm (4.4 in) in 1941; 105.9 mm (4.2 in) in 1946; 96.5 mm (3.8 in) in 1889.
