Where Saint-Louis de Kent’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

Normals: 1991–2020 normals for Kouchibougauac from ECCC’s climate data site, the nearest location with every month of temperature.
Other locations: ECCC blanks a month that fails its completeness rule, so the precipitation or snowfall here comes from the next location with all twelve months.
Comparisons: Canada’s towns and neighbourhoods of 2,500+ (no city totals, no reserves), each through its own nearest location.
Not on this page: sunshine, absent from every 1991–2020 location, and an altitude correction, for want of the town’s own elevation.
