Prairie Weather

Crop weeks are the same as in the weekly crop pages: week 1 runs from August 1 to the first Sunday after it, later weeks run Monday to Sunday, and the last week ends July 31. Each week is compared with the same crop week in the previous five crop years. Week 1 and the last week can be shorter or longer than seven days, so their totals compare less exactly.

Station records usually arrive one to two days late, so the newest week appears once all its days are in. Totals (precipitation, frost nights, growing degree days) are shown only when every day of the week was reported; averages, highs and lows need all but two days. A gap in the chart means the station did not report enough days. Missing days are never counted as zero.

Wind gusts below about 31 km/h are not recorded, so a week with no gust shown was calm or not reported.
