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 at Milford
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period (1928 to 1960)	Recent period (1969 to 2005)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	23 May	22 May	30 May	8 days later	+0.4 days per decade
First autumn frost	22 September	23 September	23 September	no change	+0.3 days per decade
Growing days	122 days	126 days	118 days	8 days fewer	-0.1 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

89 years, 1928 to 2025

A day with at least 23.3 mm (0.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 60.4 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Milford: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	23.3 mm (0.9 in)
5 years	31.6 mm (1.2 in)
10 years	37.7 mm (1.5 in)
25 years	46.1 mm (1.8 in)
50 years	53.0 mm (2.1 in)
100 years	60.4 mm (2.4 in)	Longer than the 89 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, 89 years of values from 1928 to 2025.

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: 76.2 mm (3.0 in) in 2004; 50.8 mm (2.0 in) in 2015; 45.7 mm (1.8 in) in 1934.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Milford, at 1972 and 1996. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1972 ran 0.4 C (0.6 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1996 ran 1.1 C (2.0 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Milford, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1972	-0.4	-0.6	likely	5
1996	+1.1	+2.0	likely	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.
