The growing degree days accumulated from reported temperatures over the course of the spring (solid black line), placed over the average accumulation (faint line), with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. Gaps indicate days without enough temperature reports to calculate a complete daily value; totals following gaps may therefore be understated.
Data SourcesThe details of the data sources used for this report can be found on the Vancouver International Airport page. See all nearby weather stations DisclaimerThe information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
