Sept-Îles, Canada Climate

NASA POWER reanalysis for the half-degree grid cell around Sept-Îles, 1991-2020; a grid cell is an area average and can differ from a thermometer in town by several degrees

The warmest month is July, with an average high of 17°C; the coldest is February, with an average low of -14°C. A normal year brings 1021 mm of precipitation.

Comfort is judged by the day's mean dew point: dry below 13°C, comfortable to 16°C, humid to 18°C, muggy to 21°C, oppressive to 24°C, miserable above.

Clouds

Average share of the sky covered, from satellite (CERES and GEWEX SRB) by way of NASA POWER, 1991-2020.

The clearest month is February, with the sky 59 percent covered on average; the cloudiest is October, at 73 percent.

Wind

The mean wind speed over the whole day, from the MERRA-2 reanalysis by way of NASA POWER. Gusts run well above it.

The windiest month is December, averaging 21.6 km/h at 10 meters (33 feet) above the ground.

Daylight and sunshine

The longest day is Jun 21, with 16 h 25 min of daylight; the shortest is Dec 19, with 8 h 02 min.

What this means

A normal is the average of the thirty years 1991 to 2020, the period the World Meteorological Organization and NOAA use for comparison. It is an average, not a forecast: most days depart from it, and some by a long way.

Where no station record is within reach, the extremes shown are the highest and lowest the reanalysis produced for the date in 1991-2020, not measured records.

Cloud, humidity, wind and sunshine come from a reanalysis: a weather model run over the past with every observation fed in, averaged over a grid cell about 50 km across. It is consistent everywhere on Earth; it smooths local detail such as a lake shore or a valley.
