This is especially true for data before 1975 when we went metric. All imperial measurements before 1975 have been converted to metric, but there can be slight discrepancies with monthly totals/averages due to rounding issues. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-15252355603729232792013-08-22T14:19:41.798-05:002013-08-22T14:19:41.798-05:00Oh I forgot to mention that this descrepancy happe...Oh I forgot to mention that this descrepancy happens a lot Rob.

To explain I have to give an example:<br /><br />When you look at the average mean tempearture for June 1988, there are 2 values given depending on where you look:<br />When you look at the daily data for the month, it shows an average monthly mean of 22.1°C:<br />http://climate.weather.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=MAN&StationID=3698&dlyRange=1938-01-01|2008-07-24&cmdB1=Go&Year=1988&Month=6&Day=21<br /><br />However, when you look a the monthly data for the year, it shows an average monthly mean for June of 22.0°C:<br />http://climate.weather.gc.ca/climateData/monthlydata_e.html?timeframe=3&Prov=MAN&StationID=3698&dlyRange=1938-01-01|2008-07-24&cmdB1=Go&Year=1988&Month=6&Day=21<br /><br />So my question is: which is the correct value? 22.0°C or 22.1°C?<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-83381823259592804442013-08-19T21:54:19.692-05:002013-08-19T21:54:19.692-05:00Yeah, that map was impressive.

These storms were surface based with afternoon heating so they should die as the sun sets. <br /><br />Tomorrow looking like a scorcher. We should have plenty of sun (unlike the weekend), and a favourable southwest wind but not too strong. Airmass will be capped so thunderstorms not expected. 925 mb temps climb to 27C, so a high of 33C quite possible.. maybe even 34C if we get enough sun with humidex values approaching 40 by afternoon. Could be the hottest day of the year.

Nickel to quarter size hail and heavy downpours of 25 mm or more are possible with this line of storms.<br /><br />Take cover, if threatening weather approaches.<br /><br />Strong wind gusts and hail can damage property and cause injuries. Local downpours can cause flash floods.<br /><br />Avoid driving through water on roads. Even shallow fast moving water across a road can sweep a vehicle away.<br /><br />Remember, severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.<br /><br />In Canada, lightning kills up to 10 people every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors.<br /><br />Environment Canada continues to monitor the situation closely. Please continue to monitor your local media or Weatheradio for further updates. If you would like to report severe weather, you can call 1-800-239-0484 or send an email to storm@ec.gc.ca.<br /><br />Updated or ended by 11:00 AM CDT.

The day before (the 16th) was actually a significantly warmer, nicer day in fact. Nothing happened on the thunderstorm front either, despite 60% chance of nocturnal storms according to EC, maybe 'cause things didn't heat up like they were expecting.Evannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-19197472860748007842013-08-17T23:00:30.294-05:002013-08-17T23:00:30.294-05:00A line of convection is starting to form west of B...A line of convection is starting to form west of Brandon late this evening.. whether or not it translates into some overnight storms for us remains to be seen.

We had some elevated storms last night through the interlake, and we could have a repeat tonight only a little further south, like along the TCH corridor. But nocturnal storms are notoriously difficult to predict.. as they can pop up just about anywhere and may not affect your locality. So the potential is there for some nocturnal storms tonight in the RRV, but whether they affect Winnipeg is too tough to say at this point. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-39924925870650617782013-08-17T13:54:30.501-05:002013-08-17T13:54:30.501-05:00Rob, do you think we'll see thunderstorms poss...Rob, do you think we'll see thunderstorms possibly severe here in Winnipeg tonight?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-36260316300395987262013-08-17T13:47:55.013-05:002013-08-17T13:47:55.013-05:00Wow..

I switched back to CBC because the CTV forecast graphic would have wrong dates on it at times. During the week, I find the CBC graphic is fine.. but I don't know what happens on the weekend. Totally out to lunch. They should just leave the forecast graphic from Friday and let it run all weekend. It would be better than what they do now. <br /><br />Of course, my preference would be to use an EC graphic, but they don't have a nice 7 day forecast graphic I can use. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
