Where the figures come from

Lake Louise has no rain gauge within 25 km of the centre, so its rainfall comes from a gridded climate dataset read at the city rather than from a gauge further away.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Lake Louise: 1991-2020 normals, Yoho Park (11.2 km from centre). Seville: 1991-2020 normals, Sevilla / San Pablo (8.1 km from centre).
