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

59 years with a frost

Across 59 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Rowlesburg 1 falls on 1 May and the median first autumn frost on 15 October, which leaves a median of 168 days between them.

Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +2.9 days per decade at this station.

Frost dates and growing season at Rowlesburg 1
Measure	Median, all years	Earliest period	Recent period (1976 to 2016)	Recent against earliest	Fitted trend
Last spring frost	1 May	n/a	28 April	n/a	-1.3 days per decade
First autumn frost	15 October	n/a	18 October	n/a	+1.6 days per decade
Growing days	168 days	n/a	170 days	n/a	+2.9 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

113 years, 1889 to 2016

A day with at least 53.9 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 109.2 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Rowlesburg 1: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	53.9 mm (2.1 in)
5 years	68.8 mm (2.7 in)
10 years	78.6 mm (3.1 in)
25 years	91.0 mm (3.6 in)
50 years	100.1 mm (3.9 in)
100 years	109.2 mm (4.3 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 113 years of values from 1889 to 2016.

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: 119.6 mm (4.7 in) in 1961; 116.1 mm (4.6 in) in 1985; 103.1 mm (4.1 in) in 1912.
