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

61 years with a frost

Across 61 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Hatch falls on 17 April and the median first autumn frost on 21 October, which leaves a median of 188 days between them.

In 1959 to 1999 the median growing season was 184 days. That is 7 days fewer than in 1897 to 1957.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by 0.0 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Hatch
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1897 to 1957)	Recent period (1959 to 1999)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	17 April	14 April	20 April	6 days later	+0.3 days per decade
First autumn frost	21 October	22 October	19 October	3 days earlier	+0.3 days per decade
Growing days	188 days	191 days	184 days	7 days fewer	0.0 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

74 years, 1896 to 1999

A day with at least 31.2 mm (1.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 62.8 mm (2.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Hatch: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	31.2 mm (1.2 in)
5 years	42.2 mm (1.7 in)
10 years	48.4 mm (1.9 in)
25 years	55.0 mm (2.2 in)
50 years	59.2 mm (2.3 in)
100 years	62.8 mm (2.5 in)	Longer than the 74 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, 74 years of values from 1896 to 1999.

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: 58.4 mm (2.3 in) in 1967; 57.9 mm (2.3 in) in 1959; 52.1 mm (2.1 in) in 1958.
