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

22 years with a frost

Across 22 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Adelong Post Office falls on 6 October and the median first autumn frost on 1 May, which leaves a median of 215 days between them.

Frost dates and growing season at Adelong Post Office
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1967 to 1992)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	6 October	n/a	6 October	n/a	n/a
First autumn frost	1 May	n/a	1 May	n/a	n/a
Growing days	215 days	n/a	215 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

127 years, 1884 to 2011

A day with at least 50.2 mm (2.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 108.6 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Adelong 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	50.2 mm (2.0 in)
5 years	65.8 mm (2.6 in)
10 years	76.1 mm (3.0 in)
25 years	89.2 mm (3.5 in)
50 years	98.9 mm (3.9 in)
100 years	108.6 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, 127 years of values from 1884 to 2011.

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: 125.4 mm (4.9 in) in 1987; 108.2 mm (4.3 in) in 1969; 100.4 mm (4.0 in) in 1984.
