Where Malahide’s numbers come from
Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.
- Normals: ECCC’s normals for London, 1991–2020, chosen as the nearest location with a full temperature record.
- 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: the 2,500-plus towns and neighbourhoods of Canada, each read from its closest normals location; whole cities and reserves aren’t counted.
- Not on this page: sunshine, absent from every 1991–2020 location, and an altitude correction, for want of the town’s own elevation.
