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

65 years with a frost

Across 65 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Browning falls on 7 June and the median first autumn frost on 3 September, which leaves a median of 84 days between them.

In 1948 to 1979 the median growing season was 93 days. That is 20 days more than in 1896 to 1942.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +5.2 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Browning
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1896 to 1942)	Recent period (1948 to 1979)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	7 June	8 June	6 June	2 days earlier	-1.8 days per decade
First autumn frost	3 September	28 August	6 September	9 days later	+3.4 days per decade
Growing days	84 days	73 days	93 days	20 days more	+5.2 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

77 years, 1896 to 1988

A day with at least 33.0 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 122.1 mm (4.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Browning: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	33.0 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	49.6 mm (2.0 in)
10 years	62.9 mm (2.5 in)
25 years	83.3 mm (3.3 in)
50 years	101.3 mm (4.0 in)
100 years	122.1 mm (4.8 in)	Longer than the 77 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, 77 years of values from 1896 to 1988.

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: 149.9 mm (5.9 in) in 1964; 86.4 mm (3.4 in) in 1932; 86.4 mm (3.4 in) in 1975.
