Accessed the link and sure enough it shows an almost impossible temperature for January at that location.

I found such a number so difficult to believe that I dug a little further. Checked out Environment Canada and clicked on the climate normals and records and found it again!

23.4 C on 5 January 1997. That's like 74 degrees to us heathens.....

Still couldn't believe it so I searched for Rankin Inlet and went after the records for the month of January in 1997 located on another database. It appears that someone dropped the "minus" in front of the 23.4 for that date. Here's the link:

Daily Data | Canada's National Climate Archive

A particularly strong fetch of sub-tropical air might creep as far northward as Rankin Inlet but by the time it gets there, 0 to 5 degrees C (32 to 40) is about as much as it can deliver. 20+ is pretty much off the table..

I've noticed similar mistakes looking at weather stats in the US and Canada. I forget where, but at 4AM it was something like -13 F, then at 5AM it was 75 F.

Good job, it did look very suspicious.

Default Rate this Climate: Eureka

Eureka, Nunavut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Will need to scroll down to climate box.

Frigid, Quite dry and Very sunny during most of the daylight months (Has most sunniest May in the world).
Personally I give it an F, because it's the kind of climate that kills you!
