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

62 years with a frost

Across 62 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Fall Rvr Lake falls on 12 April and the median first autumn frost on 23 October, which leaves a median of 193 days between them.

In 1965 to 2004 the median growing season was 196 days. That is 6 days more than in 1897 to 1962.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.1 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Fall Rvr Lake
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1897 to 1962)	Recent period (1965 to 2004)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	12 April	16 April	7 April	9 days earlier	-1.3 days per decade
First autumn frost	23 October	23 October	23 October	no change	+0.8 days per decade
Growing days	193 days	190 days	196 days	6 days more	+2.1 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

87 years, 1897 to 2020

A day with at least 70.6 mm (2.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 224.3 mm (8.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Fall Rvr Lake: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	70.6 mm (2.8 in)
5 years	98.4 mm (3.9 in)
10 years	121.2 mm (4.8 in)
25 years	156.3 mm (6.2 in)
50 years	187.7 mm (7.4 in)
100 years	224.3 mm (8.8 in)	Longer than the 87 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, 87 years of values from 1897 to 2020.

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: 270.5 mm (10.6 in) in 2007; 223.5 mm (8.8 in) in 2005; 168.9 mm (6.6 in) in 2009.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Fall Rvr Lake, at 1958. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1958 ran 0.4 C (0.8 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Fall Rvr Lake, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1958	-0.4	-0.8	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.
