Where Lanoraie’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

  • Normals: the 1991–2020 normals from ECCC for L'Assomption, its nearest location with complete 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: 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, not in ECCC’s 1991–2020 normals, and the effect of the town’s height, for which there is no figure.
