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.

Across 60 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Greiz-Dolau falls on 2 May and the median first autumn frost on 16 October, which leaves a median of 164 days between them.

In 1976 to 2006 the median growing season was 167 days. That is 6 days more than in 1946 to 1975.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.8 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Greiz-Dolau
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1946 to 1975)	Recent period (1976 to 2006)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	2 May	29 April	4 May	5 days later	0.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	16 October	11 October	18 October	7 days later	+0.8 days per decade
Growing days	164 days	161 days	167 days	6 days more	+0.8 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

110 years, 1897 to 2006

A day with at least 33.3 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 79.7 mm (3.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Greiz-Dolau: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	33.3 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	44.5 mm (1.8 in)
10 years	52.4 mm (2.1 in)
25 years	62.9 mm (2.5 in)
50 years	71.2 mm (2.8 in)
100 years	79.7 mm (3.1 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 110 years of values from 1897 to 2006.

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: 83.3 mm (3.3 in) in 1954; 80.5 mm (3.2 in) in 1901; 80.0 mm (3.1 in) in 1924.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Greiz-Dolau, at 1988. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1988 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

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.
