A typical July afternoon reaches 26.0°C, a January night drops to −11.3°C, and 793 mm of rain and snow falls in a year. The seasons are far apart: from a winter night to a summer afternoon the average spans 37°C. It is a dry place: less rain and snow fall here than on 65% of Canadian towns. Plan for rain or snow on about 115 days a year, the days with 1 mm or more.
Borrowed figures: Mulmur has no normals station, so these come from Egbert, 23 km east.

Where Mulmur’s numbers come from
Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.
- Normals: the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals, Egbert, 1991–2020.
- 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, absent from every 1991–2020 location, and an altitude correction, for want of the town’s own elevation.
