measured normals and 10 years of recorded weatherYellowknife swings 50°C across the year, from 23°C highs in July to -27°C lows in February, and August is usually the wettest month in a year that brings about 279 mm of precipitation. Over 10 years of recorded weather it averages 8 days a year at 25°C or above, 215 frost nights, and rain on 69 days.
Day counts are from the ERA5 reanalysis for Yellowknife’s grid square, 2016 to 2025, counted the same way for every city so the numbers compare. A reanalysis square is an area, not a weather station, so it is good for counting days and not for a single day’s record.

Where the models disagree
temperature and rain, judged separatelyThe models often agree on temperature and still split on rain, and rain is usually what decides whether a plan survives. A wide rain range means the shower is genuinely uncertain, not that the forecast is wrong.
