Local Weather

May to October weather for Temagami, Ontario, in half-month steps (days 1–15 and 16 through the end of the month). Air, precipitation, and wet days use nearby Earlton Climate observations, about 71 km away (climate ID 6072230).

Wet days

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, Earlton Climate (climate ID 6072230). 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.
Every half-month has observations on at least 80% of its days, so all five years are included. The largest gap in an included half-month is 3 days, in late August 2025.
Precipitation is liquid equivalent (rain plus the water in any snow), in millimetres per half-month.
Sunshine is not biweekly. Earlton does not publish bright sunshine. Each month’s existing normal is repeated on both of that month’s tiles. Those hours are 1971–2000 normals from Barrage Témiscamingue (climate ID 7080468), about 65 km south of Temagami, not a 2021–2025 average.
Tile temperatures are rounded to the nearest degree.
