This dataset has been compiled from public sources. The dataset consists of daily temperatures and precipitation from 13 Canadian centres. Precipitation is either rain or snow (likely snow in winter months). In 1940, there is daily data for seven out of the 13 centres, but by 1960 there is daily data from all 13 centres, with the occasional missing value.
Few of Canadas weather stations have been operating continuously, so we did need to patch together the data. Our source data is from https://climate-change.canada.ca/climate-data//daily-climate-data and here are the weather stations that we queried:
