On a normal July day the thermometer tops out near 25.9°C. Rain and snow together come to less here than on 78% of Canadian towns. The year is lopsided: June gets about 5.7 times what February does. Warm coats and heating bills mark the months from October to April, when means dip under 10°C.
Carlyle has no ECCC normals station nearby: the figures come from Estevan, 68 km south-west, so read them as the wider area’s climate.

Where Carlyle’s numbers come from
Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.
- Normals: the Canadian Climate Normals, 1991–2020, at Estevan (the closest location with all twelve months of temperatures).
- 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 (no 1991–2020 normals exist for it) and any altitude adjustment, since there is no elevation for the town itself.
