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

87 years with a frost

Across 87 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Grant City falls on 21 April and the median first autumn frost on 12 October, which leaves a median of 176 days between them.

In 1970 to 2008 the median growing season was 175 days. That is 3 days fewer than in 1903 to 1938.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.4 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Grant City
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1903 to 1938)	Recent period (1970 to 2008)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	21 April	22 April	21 April	1 day earlier	0.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	12 October	15 October	10 October	5 days earlier	-0.4 days per decade
Growing days	176 days	178 days	175 days	3 days fewer	-0.4 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

100 years, 1895 to 2008

A day with at least 67.5 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 164.7 mm (6.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Grant City: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	67.5 mm (2.7 in)
5 years	89.6 mm (3.5 in)
10 years	105.7 mm (4.2 in)
25 years	127.9 mm (5.0 in)
50 years	145.7 mm (5.7 in)
100 years	164.7 mm (6.5 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 100 years of values from 1895 to 2008.

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: 311.2 mm (12.3 in) in 1922; 125.0 mm (4.9 in) in 1909; 124.5 mm (4.9 in) in 1912.
