A year is complete when all 12 months have at least 20 days of both daily maximum and daily minimum readings. The annual mean is the mean of the monthly means. The trend describes this one station over this period; it does not say what caused the change.

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
82 years with a frostAcross 82 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Barkerville falls on 21 June and the median first autumn frost on 25 July, which leaves a median of 39 days between them.
In 1947 to 1982 the median growing season was 38 days. That is 2 days fewer than in 1889 to 1923.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -2.1 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1889 to 1923) | Recent period (1947 to 1982) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 21 June | 19 June | 24 June | 5 days later | +0.5 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 25 July | 25 July | 24 July | 1 day earlier | -1.6 days per decade |
| Growing days | 39 days | 40 days | 38 days | 2 days fewer | -2.1 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
91 years, 1888 to 1983A day with at least 32.3 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 69.2 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 32.3 mm (1.3 in) | |
| 5 years | 40.4 mm (1.6 in) | |
| 10 years | 46.5 mm (1.8 in) | |
| 25 years | 54.9 mm (2.2 in) | |
| 50 years | 61.8 mm (2.4 in) | |
| 100 years | 69.2 mm (2.7 in) | Longer than the 91 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, 91 years of values from 1888 to 1983.
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: 71.1 mm (2.8 in) in 1908; 58.4 mm (2.3 in) in 1928; 58.4 mm (2.3 in) in 1936.
