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
84 years with a frostAcross 84 years with a frost, the median last spring frost at Richland Ctr falls on 10 May and the median first autumn frost on 29 September, which leaves a median of 146 days between them.
In 1978 to 2014 the median growing season was 146 days. That is 1 day more than in 1922 to 1952.
Fitted over all years, the growing season changes by +0.6 days per decade at this station.
| Measure | Median, all years | Earliest period (1922 to 1952) | Recent period (1978 to 2014) | Recent against earliest | Fitted trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last spring frost | 10 May | 9 May | 7 May | 2 days earlier | -0.3 days per decade |
| First autumn frost | 29 September | 27 September | 30 September | 3 days later | +0.3 days per decade |
| Growing days | 146 days | 145 days | 146 days | 1 day more | +0.6 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
88 years, 1922 to 2014A day with at least 62.1 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 170.7 mm (6.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.
| Expected about once in | A day with at least | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 years | 62.1 mm (2.4 in) | |
| 5 years | 84.9 mm (3.3 in) | |
| 10 years | 102.2 mm (4.0 in) | |
| 25 years | 127.1 mm (5.0 in) | |
| 50 years | 147.8 mm (5.8 in) | |
| 100 years | 170.7 mm (6.7 in) | Longer than the 88 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, 88 years of values from 1922 to 2014.
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: 149.9 mm (5.9 in) in 1943; 137.9 mm (5.4 in) in 2001; 136.4 mm (5.4 in) in 2007.
Station Changes
1 suspectedOne change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Richland Ctr, at 1977. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
- Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1977 ran 0.2 C (0.3 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
| Year | Shift (C) | Shift (F) | Strength | Neighbours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1977 | -0.2 | -0.3 | 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.
