Where Weyburn’s numbers come from

Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.

  • Normals: 1991–2020 normals for Estevan from ECCC’s climate data site, the nearest location with every month of temperature.
  • Comparisons: a pool of Canadian towns and neighbourhoods of 2,500 or more, read alike; whole cities and reserves stay out of it.
  • 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.
