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

24 years with a frost

Across 24 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Raymond falls on 20 May and the median first autumn frost on 14 September, which leaves a median of 116 days between them.

Frost dates and growing season at Raymond
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1923 to 1974)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	20 May	n/a	20 May	n/a	n/a
First autumn frost	14 September	n/a	14 September	n/a	n/a
Growing days	116 days	n/a	116 days	n/a	n/a

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

30 years, 1922 to 1974

A day with at least 37.1 mm (1.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 106.0 mm (4.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Raymond: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	37.1 mm (1.5 in)
5 years	52.7 mm (2.1 in)
10 years	64.1 mm (2.5 in)
25 years	79.8 mm (3.1 in)
50 years	92.5 mm (3.6 in)	Longer than the 30 years of record
100 years	106.0 mm (4.2 in)	Longer than the 30 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, 30 years of values from 1922 to 1974.

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: 91.9 mm (3.6 in) in 1974; 76.2 mm (3.0 in) in 1967; 68.1 mm (2.7 in) in 1966.
