Where Chapel Hill North’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

  • Normals: the Canadian Climate Normals, 1991–2020, at Angers (the closest location with all twelve months of temperatures).
  • Other locations: a location missing months of precipitation or snow is filled from the nearest that has them all, never mixed month by month.
  • 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, absent from every 1991–2020 location, and an altitude correction, for want of the town’s own elevation.
