- Normals: the 1991–2020 Canadian Climate Normals at Montréal Trudeau (Airport), the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals.
- 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, 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.
