Sources

Where Fallingbrook’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: 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: Canada’s towns and neighbourhoods of 2,500+ (no city totals, no reserves), each through its own nearest location.
  • Not on this page: sunshine, which none of ECCC’s 450 locations publishes for 1991–2020, and the town’s own height above sea level, so no figure is adjusted for altitude.
