PORTLAND/INT.,OR., UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Weather History and Climate Data

I see the rain data is a bit different, but maybe it's my ignorance that I can't pinpoint what exactly looks wrong with those stats.

they had july temps around 89/58 and august temps 90/60 or something like that. I didn't notice any changes in anything else...it has been corrected now though.

I think ********, Osoyoos and other lower lying areas in BC's Okanagan should be classified as Bsh instead of Bsk

It needs to have the coldest month warmer than 0C, or have an annual temp higher than 18C/64F, to be Bsh. Osoyoos is close, but still too cold in winter.

Isn't it -3?

[dunno what to put here]

There are no cold winter BSh climates, anywhere.

LOL... I'm trying to figure out what Canadian city has such a profane name or some variant close to spelling it, that it's not showing up on the post.

You're correct, same thing happened to me when I typed
the town name, CD forum doesn't seem to like it for some reason

It is the driest town in BC, less than 200mm annual precipitation (approx 6 inches). Also one of the hottest places in BC, hard to get recent climate data but I remember old 1951-1980 data indicating July avg high's over 30c.

It's near Spences Bridge,BC Also a hot town, only slightly cooler than Osoyoos but significantly farther north. (north of 50 degrees)

Seneca, Oregon..

I know the Subarctic benchmark is only 3 months with means above 10C/50F, but there's no way I'd consider that subarctic, especially when September is 9.9C

If anything, I'd change the definition of subarctic to include places that are even warmer. Right now, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and Peace River, Alberta or Perm, Russia are considered temperate even though they are clearly subarctic IMO.

Edit: Seneca has frigid lows. Summer record lows are WELL below freezing. That means there is a significant chance of frost even during the "dog days" of the summer.
