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

109 years with a frost

Across 109 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Norton 9SSE falls on 30 April and the median first autumn frost on 12 October, which leaves a median of 166 days between them.

In 1987 to 2025 the median growing season was 171 days. That is 12 days more than in 1897 to 1935.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.1 days per decade at this station.

First autumn frost12 October8 October15 October7 days later+0.4 days per decade
Growing days166 days159 days171 days12 days more+1.1 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

110 years, 1896 to 2025

A day with at least 51.1 mm (2.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 141.1 mm (5.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

25 years105.6 mm (4.2 in)
50 years122.6 mm (4.8 in)
100 years141.1 mm (5.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 110 years of values from 1896 to 2025.

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: 154.7 mm (6.1 in) in 1953; 122.4 mm (4.8 in) in 1941; 110.5 mm (4.4 in) in 1975.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Norton 9SSE, at 1968. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

  • Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1968 ran 0.3 C (0.6 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).

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.

Climate Twins

2003 to 2025 against 1961 to 1990

Over 2003 to 2025, Norton 9SSE had a mean temperature of 11.7 C (53.1 F) and 577.9 mm (22.8 in) of rain a year. The 3 stations whose 1961 to 1990 climate was closest to that are Cedar Bluff Dam (United States, 105 km away), Hays 1 S (United States, 107 km away) and Garden City Exp STN (United States, 212 km away).

Twins are stations, not cities. A twin is one of the three stations at least 100 km away whose earlier climate is closest to this station's recent one, so a close match does not mean the two places look alike in other ways. A station move or a gap in a record can change that station's averages. The list describes past climate; it is not a forecast and does not say what caused any change. How twins are found, and a search for any station.
