Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.
- Normals: the 1991–2020 Canadian Climate Normals at Bas Caraquet, the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals.
- Comparisons: every place of 2,500+ in Canada but the city hubs and the reserves, each on its nearest ECCC location.
- Not on this page: sunshine, not in ECCC’s 1991–2020 normals, and the effect of the town’s height, for which there is no figure.
