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

79 years with a frost

Across 79 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Beatrice falls on 24 April and the median first autumn frost on 10 October, which leaves a median of 168 days between them.

In 1953 to 1983 the median growing season was 169 days. That is 7 days more than in 1897 to 1932.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.3 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Beatrice
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1897 to 1932)	Recent period (1953 to 1983)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	24 April	28 April	26 April	2 days earlier	-0.6 days per decade
First autumn frost	10 October	10 October	15 October	5 days later	+0.6 days per decade
Growing days	168 days	162 days	169 days	7 days more	+1.3 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

86 years, 1893 to 1983

A day with at least 58.4 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 175.5 mm (6.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Beatrice: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	58.4 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	79.9 mm (3.1 in)
10 years	97.4 mm (3.8 in)
25 years	124.1 mm (4.9 in)
50 years	147.9 mm (5.8 in)
100 years	175.5 mm (6.9 in)	Longer than the 86 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, 86 years of values from 1893 to 1983.

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: 280.7 mm (11.1 in) in 1911; 130.8 mm (5.1 in) in 1909; 130.8 mm (5.1 in) in 1973.
