Average daily minimum temperature. The baseline is calculated for 2001–2020, with projections for 2021–2040 and 2041–2060 under two climate scenarios: RCP 4.5 (moderate emissions) and RCP 8.5 (high emissions).

These daily weather records were compiled from a subset of stations in the Global Historical Climatological Network (GHCN)-Daily dataset. A weather record is considered broken if the value exceeds the maximum (or minimum) value recorded for an eligible station. A weather record is considered tied if the value is the same as the maximum (or minimum) value recorded for an eligible station. Daily weather parameters include Highest Min/Max Temperature, Lowest Min/Max Temperature, Highest Precipitation, Highest Snowfall and Highest Snow Depth. All stations meet defined eligibility criteria. For this application, a station is defined as the complete daily weather records at a particular location, having a unique identifier in the GHCN-Daily dataset. For a station to be considered for any weather parameter, it must have a minimum of 30 years of data with more than 182 days complete in each year. This is effectively a 30-year record of service requirement, but allows for inclusion of some stations which routinely shut down during certain seasons. Small station moves, such as a move from one property to an adjacent property, may occur within a station history. However, larger moves, such as a station moving from downtown to the city airport, generally result in the commissioning of a new station identifier. This tool treats each of these histories as a different station. In this way, it does not thread the separate histories into one record for a city. Records Timescales are characterized in three ways. In order of increasing noteworthiness, they are Daily Records, Monthly Records and All Time Records. For a given station, Daily Records refers to the specific calendar day: (e.g., the value recorded on March 7th compared to every other March 7th). Monthly Records exceed all values observed within the specified month (e.g., the value recorded on March 7th compared to all values recorded in every March). All-Time Records exceed the record of all observations, for any date, in a station's period of record. The Date Range and Location features are used to define the time and location ranges which are of interest to the user. For example, selecting a date range of March 1, 2012 through March 15, 2012 will return a list of records broken or tied on those 15 days. The Location Category and Country menus allow the user to define the geographic extent of the records of interest. For example, selecting Oklahoma will narrow the returned list of records to those that occurred in the state of Oklahoma, USA. The number of records broken for several recent periods is summarized in the table and updated daily. Due to late-arriving data, the number of recent records is likely underrepresented in all categories, but the ratio of records (warm to cold, for example) should be a fairly strong estimate of a final outcome. There are many more precipitation stations than temperature stations, so the raw number of precipitation records will likely exceed the number of temperature records in most climatic situations.

The E-OBS dataset (https://surfobs.climate.copernicus.eu/dataaccess/access_eobs.php) consists of gridded fields created from station series throughout Europe. The dataset contains preliminary daily updates of the E-OBS dataset for daily minimum temperature. Only the last 60 days are saved in this dataset, so the latest month is completely available at all times after the monthly update.

The map shows the mean daily minimum temperatures for January. January marks the depths of winter across Canada and, with the exception of the coastal parts of southern Vancouver Island, below freezing minimum temperatures are the norm. The deep freeze is particularly evident near Baker Lake in Nunavut and throughout much of the Arctic Archipelago, where normal January minimum temperatures average in the low -30s and even -40ºC. The low sun angle means that much of the rest of Canada experiences minimum temperatures below -15ºC.

The maximum and minimum temperatures are the highest and lowest temperatures (respectively) which occurred throughout the 24 hours period up to 9am. The observed minimum daily temperature is assigned to the date the observation was made, as the diurnal cycle typically reaches its minimum at approximately 5am. The observed maximum daily temperature is assigned to the day prior to the date the observation was made, as the diurnal cycle typically reaches its maximum at approximately 3pm. If the data are not recorded daily (for example, the instrument malfunctioned), the first observation following the no-report period is flagged as an accumulation.

Daily minimum air temperature data were converted from tenths of degrees Celsius (°C) to degrees Fahrenheit. Minimum air temperature data were evaluated for outliers; data were excluded if values were greater 100 °F or less than -19 °F. Recorded minimum temperature ranged from -18.04 °F on February 14, 1905 at the Valley Head, AL weather station to 96.08 °F on several days during the month of August at a weather station in Georgia and another in Florida. Median of minimum temperature was 57.92 °F.

The map shows the mean January daily temperature based on the 30-year period 1941-1970. The lowest mean January daily temperatures are below -35 degrees Celsius and are located on Ellesmere Island and on Axel Heiberg Island and south of the Boothia Peninsula in Nunavut. The highest mean January daily temperatures are above 0 degrees Celsius and are located on the west coast of British Columbia. Generally, the mean increases from north to south, from -35 to -2.5 degrees Celsius. In Canada temperature regimes change drastically from season to season, and even within a season there are often marked changes which affect the whole nature and character of outside activities. The major factors that affect temperature are latitude and thus the length of daylight; elevation; distribution of land and water; and prevailing winds and storm tracks. Although the least direct and the least intense incoming solar radiation occurs in December, there is a lag in the cooling of the Earth’s surface. As a result, the coldest month in Canada is normally January. All temperature reporting stations in Canada are equipped with self-registering maximum and minimum thermometers, which are mounted in standard louvred instrument shelters. Ideally, the shelters are located a little more than a metre above the ground in open spaces that are considered to be representative of the area. The thermometers are read once or several times each day to obtain daily maximum and minimum temperature values. Daily values of maximum and minimum temperature are collected every month from approximately 2000 stations across Canada. From these data, various statistics, such as monthly means, are calculated. The mean daily maximum temperature for any month is the mean of all daily maximum temperatures recorded in that particular month for the period of record. The mean daily minimum temperature is calculated similarly. The mean daily temperature for the month is the average of the mean daily maximum and mean daily minimum values. For obvious socio-economic reasons, the climatological stations used in the analysis are not uniformly located across Canada. The majority are situated in populated areas along the southern fringe of the country. In the mountainous regions of western Canada, most of the stations are located in accessible valleys, and the pattern of the maps is generally indicative of valley conditions only. No attempt was made to allow for detailed topographic effects, as such a pattern would be too complicated to display on the scale used.

This data set only contains monthly values ​​for the last 3 years and the current year, which have not yet gone through all stages of quality control. This collection of worldwide measurements from CLIMAT stations is based on original data provided by the responsible national weather services.

The map shows the mean daily maximum temperatures for July. Maximum temperatures in July are above freezing across all of Canada except for high elevations on Ellesmere Island. Maximum temperatures exceed 25ºC in the valley bottoms of southern British Columbia, across the southern Prairies, in southern Ontario and along the St. Lawrence River valley almost to the City of Québec and over parts of central New Brunswick. For many of these southern regions, this is the height of summer, with plentiful sunshine and warm dry days. Maximum temperatures along coastal regions of Atlantic Canada and British Columbia are moderated by the oceans but, even there, maximum temperatures near or above 20ºC are the norm.

The map shows the mean daily minimum temperatures for April. Minimum temperatures in April are below freezing for most of Canada. Minimum temperatures in April are below freezing for most of Canada. Only extreme southern Ontario, extreme southern Nova Scotia and coastal British Columbia have normal minimum temperatures above freezing. This represents a major warming from January values for all of southern Canada, but winter conditions still dominate the north.
