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

63 years with a frost

Across 63 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Fernie falls on 30 May and the median first autumn frost on 8 September, which leaves a median of 100 days between them.

In 1947 to 1983 the median growing season was 94 days. That is 8 days fewer than in 1914 to 1943.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Fernie
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1914 to 1943)	Recent period (1947 to 1983)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	30 May	29 May	3 June	5 days later	+0.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	8 September	8 September	9 September	1 day later	-0.2 days per decade
Growing days	100 days	102 days	94 days	8 days fewer	-0.6 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

62 years, 1914 to 1983

A day with at least 47.0 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 115.5 mm (4.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Fernie: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	47.0 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	61.5 mm (2.4 in)
10 years	72.5 mm (2.9 in)
25 years	88.2 mm (3.5 in)
50 years	101.2 mm (4.0 in)
100 years	115.5 mm (4.5 in)	Longer than the 62 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, 62 years of values from 1914 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: 106.2 mm (4.2 in) in 1941; 105.7 mm (4.2 in) in 1922; 87.4 mm (3.4 in) in 1983.
