Where Roseborough’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

  • Normals: the 1991–2020 Canadian Climate Normals at Toronto Pearson (Airport), the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals.
  • Comparisons: a pool of Canadian towns and neighbourhoods of 2,500 or more, read alike; whole cities and reserves stay out of it.
  • 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.
