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

60 years with a frost

Across 60 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Stave Falls falls on 12 April and the median first autumn frost on 1 November, which leaves a median of 201 days between them.

In 1940 to 1972 the median growing season was 206 days. That is 10 days more than in 1910 to 1939.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.7 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Stave Falls
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1910 to 1939)	Recent period (1940 to 1972)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	12 April	9 April	14 April	5 days later	+1.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	1 November	27 October	5 November	9 days later	+1.9 days per decade
Growing days	201 days	196 days	206 days	10 days more	+0.7 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

67 years, 1910 to 1980

A day with at least 76.0 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 164.9 mm (6.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Stave Falls: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	76.0 mm (3.0 in)
5 years	99.9 mm (3.9 in)
10 years	115.7 mm (4.6 in)
25 years	135.6 mm (5.3 in)
50 years	150.3 mm (5.9 in)
100 years	164.9 mm (6.5 in)	Longer than the 67 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, 67 years of values from 1910 to 1980.

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: 152.4 mm (6.0 in) in 1935; 143.3 mm (5.6 in) in 1932; 132.1 mm (5.2 in) in 1924.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Stave Falls, at 1960. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1960 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1960	-0.4	-0.7	likely	5

Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
