Where De Salaberry’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

Normals: the 1991–2020 Canadian Climate Normals at Emerson, the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals.
Other locations: a location missing months of precipitation or snow is filled from the nearest that has them all, never mixed month by month.
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 (no 1991–2020 normals exist for it) and any altitude adjustment, since there is no elevation for the town itself.
