Where Sainte-Marcelline-de-Kildare’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: 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: a sunshine figure (ECCC published none for 1991–2020) and any lapse-rate correction for height, as the town has no elevation here.
