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

83 years with a frost

Across 83 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Temple falls on 7 March and the median first autumn frost on 22 November, which leaves a median of 259 days between them.

In 1954 to 2001 the median growing season was 268 days. That is 13 days more than in 1893 to 1927.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +1.8 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Temple
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1893 to 1927)	Recent period (1954 to 2001)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	7 March	7 March	4 March	3 days earlier	-1.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	22 November	17 November	24 November	7 days later	+0.5 days per decade
Growing days	259 days	255 days	268 days	13 days more	+1.8 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

97 years, 1897 to 2001

A day with at least 79.0 mm (3.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 206.3 mm (8.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Temple: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	79.0 mm (3.1 in)
5 years	109.0 mm (4.3 in)
10 years	130.3 mm (5.1 in)
25 years	159.3 mm (6.3 in)
50 years	182.2 mm (7.2 in)
100 years	206.3 mm (8.1 in)	Longer than the 97 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, 97 years of values from 1897 to 2001.

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: 228.6 mm (9.0 in) in 1921; 170.9 mm (6.7 in) in 1902; 163.8 mm (6.4 in) in 1942.
