Can someone email to me the average temperature in the major Canadian
cities for November, December, January and February of each of the
last 10-15 years.

Request for Question Clarification by hummer-ga on 09 Jun 2004 19:18 PDT

Hi coyote1,

Would you be interested in something like this? 

Norms for 1971-2000

ALBERTA                    Nov   Dec    Jan    Feb
Calgary    (Airport)      -3.1  - 7.4  - 8.9  - 6.1
Edmonton   (Airport)      -5.7  -11.3  -13.5  -10.5

BRITISH COLUMBIA
Prince George             -2.9   -7.8   -9.6   -5.4
Vancouver  (Airport)       6.0    3.5    3.3    4.8

If this would be suitable, I would be happy to compile a list for you.
Did you have any particular cities in mind or just like I've done
above? Gathering data for ten or fifteen separate years would be quite
time consuming, unless someone can find a chart ready-made.

Thanks,
hummer

Thanks for your response; the layout you've shown is what I'm looking for.
On the issue of which cities to include, having the major cities like
Toronto and Montreal is probably what's most important.
In terms of data, having the average for 1971-2000 or 1981-2000 is
fine (i.e., don't need every year broken out for this period), but
unfortunately I need specific data for 2001, 2002 and 2003 for such
cities.
Having the source cited would also be nice.

Hello Coyote1,

I have researched this question to the best of my abililty and have
created the following tables for you.

The figures in the tables are the year followed by the average
temperature for the months in degrees Fahrenheit (the conversion to
Celsius is trivial) of January, February, November and December.

I have gone back as far as possible with yearly averages, hopefully
this is sufficient as your last clarification suggested only the
period 2001-2003 was entirely necessary.

If required I can also supply the average temperature over the last 25
years for each city in the months required.

This has been a very time consuming exercise for the $9.50 but an
enjoyable challenge.  If you have any further questions on this please
ask for clarification and I will do my best to provide the answer.

Hi coyote1,

Environment Canada has a terrific website - a long list of monthly
data for weather station across Canada. Choose a province, search, and
then pick a city.

Canadian Climate Normals or Averages 1971-2000:
"Climate normals or averages are used to summarize or describe the
average climatic conditions of a particular location.
At the completion of each decade, Environment Canada updates its
climate normals for as many locations and as many climatic
characteristics as possible. The climate normals and extremes offered
here are based on Canadian climate stations with at least 15 years of
data between 1971 to 2000."
1961-1990 Climate normals & averages are also available.
