Local Weather

May to October weather for Dog Lake, northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, in half-month steps (days 1–15 and 16 through the end of the month). Air, precipitation, and wet days use nearby Thunder Bay CS observations, about 44 km away (climate ID 6048268).

Air temperature

Avg high / low

Sunshine

Hours per day

Precipitation

mm per half-month

Wet days

Days with ≥ 0.2 mm

Each tile is one half-month from May through October. Early is days 1–15. Late is day 16 through the end of the month. Every tile shows a value.
Air temperature, precipitation, and wet-day percentage are 2021–2025 daily averages from Environment and Climate Change Canada, Thunder Bay CS (climate ID 6048268). High and low are the average of each year’s half-month mean, so each year counts equally. A year is included for a variable only when that half-month was observed on at least 80% of its days. Precipitation is the mean of each included year’s half-month total; missing days are not filled in. A wet day has at least 0.2 mm, among precipitation observations in the years included for that half-month. Days flagged missing are left out.
Temperature and precipitation leave out early August 2021 (9 of 15 days), late August 2021 (7 of 16 days), and late September 2022 (7 of 15 days). Missing days in an included half-month are not filled in. The largest gap in an included half-month is 3 days, in early August 2022.
Thunder Bay A (climate ID 6048261) daily record ends 5 December 2004. These averages use Thunder Bay CS (climate ID 6048268) at the same airport. The newer Thunder Bay A (climate ID 6048262) has temperature but no precipitation, so it was not used.
Precipitation is liquid equivalent (rain plus the water in any snow), in millimetres per half-month.
Sunshine is not biweekly. Thunder Bay CS does not publish a 2021–2025 bright-sunshine record. Each month’s existing normal is repeated on both of that month’s tiles. Those hours are 1971–2000 normals from Thunder Bay Airport (climate ID 6048261), not a 2021–2025 average.
Tile temperatures are rounded to the nearest degree.
