Title: Edmonton Normal Weather Stats 1971-2000
Post by: Darren Dirt on March 15, 2006, 12:26:53 PM
I've heard somewhere that Edmonton gets almost the most sunshine per year out of anywhere on the planet.



And that we get the equivalent amount of precipation in snowfall+rain as Vancouver gets in the average year.



Is it true? Who knows... but these stats might help! (I was shocked to find out that 1 in 6 days we have windchill of -20 or colder, and 2 out of 3 days we have no precipitation at all (neither rain nor snow). About 1 day in 7 we have snowfall, but our day with the highest "Humidex" still resulted in only feelign a like a way-less-hot-than-Arizona/NewMexico 38 degrees. Our hottest day in history was only 35Celsius... and the coldest day *ever* (both with windchill and without) was almost exactly one year before I was born :o
