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

67 years with a frost

Across 67 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Golden A falls on 28 May and the median first autumn frost on 13 September, which leaves a median of 108 days between them.

In 1951 to 1983 the median growing season was 119 days. That is 16 days more than in 1903 to 1942.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +5.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Golden A
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1903 to 1942)	Recent period (1951 to 1983)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	28 May	30 May	22 May	8 days earlier	-1.7 days per decade
First autumn frost	13 September	9 September	17 September	8 days later	+3.3 days per decade
Growing days	108 days	103 days	119 days	16 days more	+5.0 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

72 years, 1903 to 1983

A day with at least 27.0 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 71.0 mm (2.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Golden A: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	27.0 mm (1.1 in)
5 years	35.8 mm (1.4 in)
10 years	42.6 mm (1.7 in)
25 years	52.7 mm (2.1 in)
50 years	61.3 mm (2.4 in)
100 years	71.0 mm (2.8 in)	Longer than the 72 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, 72 years of values from 1903 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: 58.9 mm (2.3 in) in 1903; 58.4 mm (2.3 in) in 1918; 56.6 mm (2.2 in) in 1957.
