- Bright sunshine
- 1,940 h
- Hours of sun a year, 1981–2010 average.
Averaged from the last ten complete years of Environment Canada observations at the nearest principal station, so it reflects the climate as it is now rather than a thirty year normal. Bright sunshine is the exception: it is no longer measured at these stations, so that figure is the long term average.
