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

112 years with a frost

Across 112 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Gavle falls on 23 May and the median first autumn frost on 22 September, which leaves a median of 121 days between them.

In 1964 to 1994 the median growing season was 138 days. That is 21 days more than in 1882 to 1911.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +3.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Gavle
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1882 to 1911)	Recent period (1964 to 1994)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	23 May	24 May	14 May	10 days earlier	-1.5 days per decade
First autumn frost	22 September	16 September	27 September	11 days later	+1.5 days per decade
Growing days	121 days	117 days	138 days	21 days more	+3.0 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

126 years, 1859 to 1991

A day with at least 32.5 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 101.3 mm (4.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Gavle: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	32.5 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	46.6 mm (1.8 in)
10 years	57.4 mm (2.3 in)
25 years	73.2 mm (2.9 in)
50 years	86.5 mm (3.4 in)
100 years	101.3 mm (4.0 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 126 years of values from 1859 to 1991.

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: 120.1 mm (4.7 in) in 1979; 105.5 mm (4.2 in) in 1937; 98.8 mm (3.9 in) in 1872.
