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 Vincennes 4 E falls on 12 April and the median first autumn frost on 22 October, which leaves a median of 192 days between them.

In 1949 to 2012 the median growing season was 192 days. That is 3 days more than in 1895 to 1928.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Vincennes 4 E
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1895 to 1928)	Recent period (1949 to 2012)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	12 April	14 April	12 April	2 days earlier	-0.7 days per decade
First autumn frost	22 October	22 October	19 October	3 days earlier	+0.3 days per decade
Growing days	192 days	189 days	192 days	3 days more	+1.0 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

97 years, 1895 to 2023

A day with at least 69.1 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 155.7 mm (6.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Vincennes 4 E: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	69.1 mm (2.7 in)
5 years	90.3 mm (3.6 in)
10 years	105.1 mm (4.1 in)
25 years	124.8 mm (4.9 in)
50 years	140.0 mm (5.5 in)
100 years	155.7 mm (6.1 in)	Longer than the 97 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, 97 years of values from 1895 to 2023.

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: 157.5 mm (6.2 in) in 1913; 140.2 mm (5.5 in) in 2016; 131.6 mm (5.2 in) in 1961.
