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

73 years with a frost

Across 73 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Worthington falls on 8 May and the median first autumn frost on 3 October, which leaves a median of 151 days between them.

In 1941 to 1970 the median growing season was 157 days. That is 16 days more than in 1895 to 1927.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.4 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Worthington
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1895 to 1927)	Recent period (1941 to 1970)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	8 May	13 May	8 May	5 days earlier	-0.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	3 October	30 September	7 October	7 days later	+1.5 days per decade
Growing days	151 days	141 days	157 days	16 days more	+2.4 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

74 years, 1895 to 1970

A day with at least 59.3 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 167.0 mm (6.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Worthington: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	59.3 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	83.5 mm (3.3 in)
10 years	101.2 mm (4.0 in)
25 years	125.7 mm (4.9 in)
50 years	145.6 mm (5.7 in)
100 years	167.0 mm (6.6 in)	Longer than the 74 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, 74 years of values from 1895 to 1970.

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: 203.2 mm (8.0 in) in 1913; 161.8 mm (6.4 in) in 1969; 118.6 mm (4.7 in) in 1938.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Worthington, at 1942. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1942 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Worthington, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1942	-0.4	-0.7	likely	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.
