Where Saint-Gabriel-de-Brandon’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

Normals: 1991–2020 normals for L'Assomption from ECCC’s climate data site, the nearest location with every month of temperature.
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: all Canadian places of 2,500 or more except city totals and reserves, each read the same way.
Not on this page: hours of sunshine, missing from the 1991–2020 normals, and a height correction: the town has no elevation on file.
