Longest dry spell (CDD)

The longest dry spell of the year at Engle, 1894 to 1961. The record is 155 days in 1945, marked on the chart; the median year is 58 days.

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

27 years with a frost

Across 27 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Engle falls on 18 April and the median first autumn frost on 30 October, which leaves a median of 196 days between them.

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

Frost dates and growing season at Engle
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1895 to 1949)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	18 April	n/a	18 April	n/a	-1.0 days per decade
First autumn frost	30 October	n/a	30 October	n/a	+0.2 days per decade
Growing days	196 days	n/a	196 days	n/a	+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

35 years, 1897 to 1960

A day with at least 29.3 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 66.7 mm (2.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Engle: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	29.3 mm (1.2 in)
5 years	40.2 mm (1.6 in)
10 years	47.1 mm (1.9 in)
25 years	55.3 mm (2.2 in)
50 years	61.2 mm (2.4 in)	Longer than the 35 years of record
100 years	66.7 mm (2.6 in)	Longer than the 35 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, 35 years of values from 1897 to 1960.

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: 66.8 mm (2.6 in) in 1933; 56.9 mm (2.2 in) in 1939; 47.0 mm (1.9 in) in 1897.
