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

23 years with a frost

Across 23 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Gove 4W falls on 25 April and the median first autumn frost on 16 October, which leaves a median of 172 days between them.

Frost dates and growing season at Gove 4W
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1893 to 1929)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	25 April	n/a	25 April	n/a	n/a
First autumn frost	16 October	n/a	16 October	n/a	n/a
Growing days	172 days	n/a	172 days	n/a	n/a

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

95 years, 1893 to 2018

A day with at least 56.9 mm (2.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 128.6 mm (5.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Gove 4W: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	56.9 mm (2.2 in)
5 years	78.2 mm (3.1 in)
10 years	91.4 mm (3.6 in)
25 years	107.1 mm (4.2 in)
50 years	118.1 mm (4.6 in)
100 years	128.6 mm (5.1 in)	Longer than the 95 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, 95 years of values from 1893 to 2018.

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: 161.0 mm (6.3 in) in 2017; 112.8 mm (4.4 in) in 2011; 110.7 mm (4.4 in) in 1960.
