Long-term temperature, precipitation, and wind averages from 1991 to 2020 at a representative point
Annual climate cycles at Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary reveal distinct shifts in atmospheric conditions across the twelve-month calendar. This dataset presents long-term averages for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation derived from NASA POWER measurements for a fixed representative coordinate. These figures provide a baseline for understanding the typical environment rather than predicting specific weather events or short-term anomalies.
