Earliest - Earliest date when a minimum temperature below the threshold 
           occurred.
           **/** means there has been a year when the minimum temperature
                 didn't go below the threshold temperature during the
                 Jan. 1 to July 31 period or that there was insufficient to
                 determine the date.

xx%      - Percent probability that a minimum temperature below the
           threshold will occur on or after the given date.
           **/** means non-occurrence of the threshold or insufficient data
                 to determine a threshold.

Latest   - Latest date when a minimum temperature below the threshold
           occurred.  
           **/** means there has never been a year when the minimum
                 temperature went below the threshold temperature during the                                   
                 Jan. 1 to July 31 period or insufficient data to determine                                   
                 a date.
           07/30 means the minimum temperature can go below the threshold 
                 temperature any day during the Jan. 1 to July 31 period.
