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

62 years with a frost

Across 62 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Goldfield falls on 20 May and the median first autumn frost on 7 October, which leaves a median of 142 days between them.

In 1948 to 2004 the median growing season was 145 days. That is 6 days more than in 1911 to 1944.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Goldfield
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1911 to 1944)	Recent period (1948 to 2004)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	20 May	22 May	19 May	3 days earlier	-0.9 days per decade
First autumn frost	7 October	4 October	9 October	5 days later	+1.1 days per decade
Growing days	142 days	139 days	145 days	6 days more	+2.0 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

67 years, 1907 to 2004

A day with at least 22.8 mm (0.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 68.0 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Goldfield: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	22.8 mm (0.9 in)
5 years	34.3 mm (1.4 in)
10 years	42.2 mm (1.7 in)
25 years	52.4 mm (2.1 in)
50 years	60.1 mm (2.4 in)
100 years	68.0 mm (2.7 in)	Longer than the 67 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, 67 years of values from 1907 to 2004.

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: 61.7 mm (2.4 in) in 1918; 61.0 mm (2.4 in) in 1931; 53.3 mm (2.1 in) in 1943.
