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

65 years with a frost

Across 65 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Amenia falls on 16 May and the median first autumn frost on 22 September, which leaves a median of 130 days between them.

In 1940 to 1976 the median growing season was 138 days. That is 12 days more than in 1896 to 1932.

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

Frost dates and growing season at Amenia
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1896 to 1932)	Recent period (1940 to 1976)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	16 May	17 May	15 May	2 days earlier	-0.7 days per decade
First autumn frost	22 September	20 September	24 September	4 days later	+1.3 days per decade
Growing days	130 days	126 days	138 days	12 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

61 years, 1896 to 1976

A day with at least 47.4 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 136.3 mm (5.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Amenia: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	47.4 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	66.6 mm (2.6 in)
10 years	81.0 mm (3.2 in)
25 years	101.3 mm (4.0 in)
50 years	118.0 mm (4.6 in)
100 years	136.3 mm (5.4 in)	Longer than the 61 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, 61 years of values from 1896 to 1976.

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: 134.6 mm (5.3 in) in 1953; 124.5 mm (4.9 in) in 1970; 101.6 mm (4.0 in) in 1959.

Station Changes

1 suspected

One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Amenia, at 1940. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1940 ran 0.3 C (0.5 F) higher than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Amenia, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1940	+0.3	+0.5	possible	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.
