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 Pelee Island falls on 18 April and the median first autumn frost on 5 November, which leaves a median of 197 days between them.

In 1946 to 1979 the median growing season was 199 days. That is 3 days more than in 1890 to 1938.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -1.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Pelee Island
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1890 to 1938)	Recent period (1946 to 1979)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	18 April	21 April	16 April	5 days earlier	0.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	5 November	6 November	4 November	2 days earlier	-0.9 days per decade
Growing days	197 days	196 days	199 days	3 days more	-1.0 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

66 years, 1890 to 1983

A day with at least 49.0 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 119.9 mm (4.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Pelee Island: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	49.0 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	65.8 mm (2.6 in)
10 years	77.8 mm (3.1 in)
25 years	93.9 mm (3.7 in)
50 years	106.6 mm (4.2 in)
100 years	119.9 mm (4.7 in)	Longer than the 66 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, 66 years of values from 1890 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: 114.3 mm (4.5 in) in 1911; 101.6 mm (4.0 in) in 1896; 97.8 mm (3.9 in) in 1977.
