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

99 years with a frost

Across 99 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Fairmont falls on 29 April and the median first autumn frost on 9 October, which leaves a median of 163 days between them.

In 1978 to 2010 the median growing season was 170 days. That is 16 days more than in 1898 to 1928.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.6 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Fairmont
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1898 to 1928)	Recent period (1978 to 2010)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	29 April	4 May	26 April	8 days earlier	-1.6 days per decade
First autumn frost	9 October	8 October	11 October	3 days later	+1.0 days per decade
Growing days	163 days	154 days	170 days	16 days more	+2.6 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

107 years, 1895 to 2011

A day with at least 62.0 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 157.3 mm (6.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Fairmont: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	62.0 mm (2.4 in)
5 years	86.0 mm (3.4 in)
10 years	102.4 mm (4.0 in)
25 years	124.0 mm (4.9 in)
50 years	140.5 mm (5.5 in)
100 years	157.3 mm (6.2 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 107 years of values from 1895 to 2011.

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: 150.6 mm (5.9 in) in 1950; 142.2 mm (5.6 in) in 1930; 141.0 mm (5.6 in) in 1986.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Fairmont, at 1919. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1919 ran 0.4 C (0.6 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Fairmont, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1919	+0.4	+0.6	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.
