Where Saint-Cyprien’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

Normals: 1991–2020 normals for Rivière-du-Loup/St-Antonin from ECCC’s climate data site, the nearest location with every month of temperature.
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: the towns and neighbourhoods of 2,500+ across Canada, each on its nearest normals location, without the city totals or the reserves.
Not on this page: sunshine, absent from every 1991–2020 location, and an altitude correction, for want of the town’s own elevation.
