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

79 years with a frost

Across 79 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Americus falls on 17 March and the median first autumn frost on 12 November, which leaves a median of 239 days between them.

In 1960 to 2004 the median growing season was 235 days. That is 15 days fewer than in 1902 to 1940.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -2.5 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Americus
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1902 to 1940)	Recent period (1960 to 2004)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	17 March	10 March	22 March	12 days later	+1.7 days per decade
First autumn frost	12 November	16 November	9 November	7 days earlier	-0.8 days per decade
Growing days	239 days	250 days	235 days	15 days fewer	-2.5 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

111 years, 1893 to 2024

A day with at least 80.3 mm (3.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 246.8 mm (9.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Americus: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	80.3 mm (3.2 in)
5 years	109.9 mm (4.3 in)
10 years	134.4 mm (5.3 in)
25 years	172.3 mm (6.8 in)
50 years	206.6 mm (8.1 in)
100 years	246.8 mm (9.7 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 111 years of values from 1893 to 2024.

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: 535.9 mm (21.1 in) in 1994; 170.2 mm (6.7 in) in 1943; 161.5 mm (6.4 in) in 1897.
