Methodology & sources

Baddeck

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 22 years of daily observations at Point Aconi, a weather station, about 40 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.

Cloud, humidity, wind & sunshine — modelled estimates from NASA POWER, NASA's satellite-and-reanalysis climatology. This is the standard global source for atmospheric variables, which are not measured at most weather stations.

Minneapolis

Temperature & precipitation — the official 1991–2020 climate normals from NOAA's U.S. Climate Normals, measured at ST Paul Dwtn AP (NOAA GHCN station USW00014927), about 17 km from the city centre.
