Where La Doré’s numbers come from
Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.
- Normals: ECCC’s normals for Normandin, 1991–2020, chosen as the nearest location with a full temperature record.
- 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: Canadian towns and neighbourhoods of at least 2,500, each placed by its nearest location (city totals and reserves excluded).
- 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.
