Long-term temperature, precipitation, and wind averages from 1991 to 2020 at a representative point

Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Monthly Climate Normals and Atmospheric Data Patterns

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.
