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
79 years with a frostAcross 79 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at La Crosse Wb City falls on 24 April and the median first autumn frost on 9 October, which leaves a median of 168 days between them.
In 1922 to 1951 the median growing season was 165 days. That is 6 days fewer than in 1873 to 1902.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by -0.9 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1873 to 1902) | Recent period (1922 to 1951) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 24 April | 22 April | 26 April | 4 days later | +0.3 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 9 October | 9 October | 11 October | 2 days later | -0.6 days per decade |
| Growing days | 168 days | 171 days | 165 days | 6 days fewer | -0.9 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
79 years, 1873 to 1951A day with at least 55.2 mm (2.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 128.4 mm (5.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 55.2 mm (2.2 in) | |
| 5 years | 74.0 mm (2.9 in) | |
| 10 years | 86.8 mm (3.4 in) | |
| 25 years | 103.3 mm (4.1 in) | |
| 50 years | 115.7 mm (4.6 in) | |
| 100 years | 128.4 mm (5.1 in) | Longer than the 79 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, 79 years of values from 1873 to 1951.
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: 141.0 mm (5.6 in) in 1884; 124.2 mm (4.9 in) in 1900; 113.8 mm (4.5 in) in 1907.
