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

80 years with a frost

Across 80 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Fall River falls on 21 April and the median first autumn frost on 26 October, which leaves a median of 191 days between them.

In 1946 to 1975 the median growing season was 193 days. That is 2 days fewer than in 1894 to 1925.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by 0.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Fall River
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1894 to 1925)	Recent period (1946 to 1975)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	21 April	21 April	15 April	6 days earlier	-0.2 days per decade
First autumn frost	26 October	30 October	26 October	4 days earlier	-0.3 days per decade
Growing days	191 days	195 days	193 days	2 days fewer	0.0 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.

25 years	120.6 mm (4.7 in)
50 years	135.6 mm (5.3 in)
100 years	151.1 mm (5.9 in)	Longer than the 81 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, 81 years of values from 1893 to 1975.

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: 162.1 mm (6.4 in) in 1946; 145.8 mm (5.7 in) in 1924; 140.5 mm (5.5 in) in 1954.
