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
41 years with a frostAcross 41 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Craig 4SW falls on 30 May and the median first autumn frost on 22 September, which leaves a median of 114 days between them.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +5.0 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period | Recent period (1989 to 2025) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 30 May | n/a | 26 May | n/a | -2.7 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 22 September | n/a | 22 September | n/a | +2.2 days per decade |
| Growing days | 114 days | n/a | 119 days | n/a | +5.0 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.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Craig 4SW, at 2020. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2020 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | -0.4 | -0.7 | possible | 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.
