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

66 years with a frost

Across 66 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Qu'appelle falls on 30 May and the median first autumn frost on 10 September, which leaves a median of 101 days between them.

In 1921 to 1965 the median growing season was 100 days. That is 6 days fewer than in 1884 to 1914.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.5 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Qu'appelle
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1884 to 1914)	Recent period (1921 to 1965)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	30 May	28 May	1 June	4 days later	+0.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	10 September	12 September	10 September	2 days earlier	0.0 days per decade
Growing days	101 days	106 days	100 days	6 days fewer	-0.5 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.

Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	40.7 mm (1.6 in)
5 years	56.5 mm (2.2 in)
10 years	66.9 mm (2.6 in)
25 years	79.8 mm (3.1 in)
50 years	89.3 mm (3.5 in)
100 years	98.6 mm (3.9 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 1884 to 1965.

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: 104.1 mm (4.1 in) in 1923; 93.7 mm (3.7 in) in 1916; 78.7 mm (3.1 in) in 1914.

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.
