Where Carberry’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

  • Normals: Environment and Climate Change Canada’s 1991–2020 normals, Cypress River: the nearest of its locations with every month’s temperatures.
  • Comparisons: every Canadian town and neighbourhood of 2,500 or more, each read from its own nearest location; city totals and reserves are left out.
  • Not on this page: sunshine, which none of ECCC’s 450 locations publishes for 1991–2020, and the town’s own height above sea level, so no figure is adjusted for altitude.
