<dataIdInfo>
<idAbs>Derived normal climate data represent 30-year averages (1961-1990, 1971-2000, 1981-2010, 1991-2020) of climate conditions observed at a particular location. The derived normal climate data represents 30-year averages or 'normals' for precipitation, temperature, growing degree days, crop heat units, frost, dry spells, and potential evapotranspiration. These normal trends are key to understanding agroclimate risks in Canada. These normals can be used as a baseline to compare against current conditions, and are particularly useful for monitoring drought risk.
