This publication deals specifically with frost occurrences
between the first of May and the end of June for selected climate stations
across Newfoundland and Labrador. It contains a frost data table and a table
which gives 10 to 90 per cent probability of frost occurrence and associated
calendar dates. The frequency and distribution of spring frost is very important
to agriculture, especially during planting time. However, damage by frost can
happen at any time and the severity of damage depends on many factors, including
crop type, phenological stage, frost sensitivity level, and site
location.
