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

98 years with a frost

Across 98 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Greenwood falls on 29 March and the median first autumn frost on 6 November, which leaves a median of 220 days between them.

In 1973 to 2010 the median growing season was 210 days. That is 17 days fewer than in 1897 to 1934.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -2.1 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Greenwood
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1897 to 1934)	Recent period (1973 to 2010)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	29 March	27 March	8 April	12 days later	+1.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	6 November	10 November	1 November	9 days earlier	-0.8 days per decade
Growing days	220 days	227 days	210 days	17 days fewer	-2.1 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

102 years, 1897 to 2010

A day with at least 68.1 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 188.0 mm (7.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Greenwood: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	68.1 mm (2.7 in)
5 years	91.2 mm (3.6 in)
10 years	109.6 mm (4.3 in)
25 years	137.0 mm (5.4 in)
50 years	160.9 mm (6.3 in)
100 years	188.0 mm (7.4 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 102 years of values from 1897 to 2010.

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: 203.7 mm (8.0 in) in 1976; 188.5 mm (7.4 in) in 1940; 180.3 mm (7.1 in) in 1964.
