Where Saint-Gédéon’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

  • Normals: the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals, Roberval, 1991–2020.
  • Comparisons: Canada’s towns and neighbourhoods of 2,500+ (no city totals, no reserves), each through its own nearest location.
  • Not on this page: sunshine (no 1991–2020 normals exist for it) and any altitude adjustment, since there is no elevation for the town itself.
