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 at Parrsboro
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1898 to 1935)	Recent period (1954 to 1983)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	2 June	3 June	3 June	no change	-0.1 days per decade
First autumn frost	21 September	21 September	22 September	1 day later	-0.5 days per decade
Growing days	115 days	115 days	111 days	4 days fewer	-0.4 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.

A day with at least 58.8 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 136.2 mm (5.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Parrsboro: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	58.8 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	77.6 mm (3.1 in)
10 years	90.7 mm (3.6 in)
25 years	108.3 mm (4.3 in)
50 years	122.0 mm (4.8 in)
100 years	136.2 mm (5.4 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 1898 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: 152.7 mm (6.0 in) in 1959; 124.5 mm (4.9 in) in 1956; 114.3 mm (4.5 in) in 1906.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Parrsboro, at 1941 and 1958. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1941 ran 0.7 C (1.2 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1958 ran 0.6 C (1.1 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Parrsboro, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1941	+0.7	+1.2	likely	5
1958	-0.6	-1.1	likely	5

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.
