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

65 years with a frost

Across 65 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Fauquier falls on 11 May and the median first autumn frost on 1 October, which leaves a median of 146 days between them.

In 1954 to 1983 the median growing season was 155 days. That is 23 days more than in 1914 to 1948.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +6.2 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Fauquier
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1914 to 1948)	Recent period (1954 to 1983)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	11 May	17 May	7 May	10 days earlier	-3.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	1 October	24 September	10 October	16 days later	+2.7 days per decade
Growing days	146 days	132 days	155 days	23 days more	+6.2 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

61 years, 1913 to 1983

A day with at least 26.5 mm (1.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 56.2 mm (2.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Fauquier: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	26.5 mm (1.0 in)
5 years	33.1 mm (1.3 in)
10 years	37.9 mm (1.5 in)
25 years	44.7 mm (1.8 in)
50 years	50.2 mm (2.0 in)
100 years	56.2 mm (2.2 in)	Longer than the 61 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, 61 years of values from 1913 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: 55.6 mm (2.2 in) in 1927; 48.5 mm (1.9 in) in 1958; 45.2 mm (1.8 in) in 1982.

Station Changes

3 suspected

3 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Fauquier, at 1928, 1952 and 1958. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1928 ran 0.5 C (1.0 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1952 ran 0.9 C (1.6 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1958 ran 0.5 C (1.0 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Fauquier, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1928	-0.5	-1.0	likely	5
1952	+0.9	+1.6	possible	5
1958	-0.5	-1.0	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.
