Canada Day

Since I'll be doing a month-in-review right away, Canada Day starts one day early:

Canada Day in Edmonton is reliably pretty warm, although it's only broken 30°C once. That was way back in 1924, reaching an extremely warm 35.6°C. In the last 30 years the average high has been 22°C, and there were 7 times when it didn't reach 20°C - most recently 2010 and 2011 both topped out at 19°C. The average overnight low for the last 30 years is 12°C, and it hasn't dropped below 5°C since 1927.


For precipitation here are a combination of readings from Blatchford and the International. We can see that daily precipitation does vary depending on location, with a year like 1998 when Blatchford recorded 30mm of rain and the International recorded 0. Between the two stations it looks like about half of the time there is at least some rain on Canada Day.
