Where Roxton Falls’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

  • Normals: the 1991–2020 Canadian Climate Normals at Granby, the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals.
  • Comparisons: the 2,500-plus towns and neighbourhoods of Canada, each read from its closest normals location; whole cities and reserves aren’t counted.
  • 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.
