I think the averages have been generated by a program.
Sure, as there are just not so many weather stations and as well there is no station eg in my real town.
Temperatures for my area are a bit outdated as the average temps there are lower than they are here now and the precipitation sum here is now bigger than in the climate-data as well.
Yearly mean is about 0.5C too cold... since they are using old averages I guess it's excusable.
However this part is really way off IMO:
"In Vancouver, the climate is warm and temperate. The winter months are much rainier than the summer months in Vancouver. This climate is considered to be Csb according to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification. The temperature here averages 9.9 °C. In a year, the average rainfall is 1283 mm."
Warm and temperate... lol! This person has obviously never stepped foot here...
Climate data claims to be using a data model and data from many weather stations, and it says that the data is based on 1982-2012.
For my city, the weather station at Voll did not exist most of those years. So they must have used Trondheim-Værnes or any other station further away, or the old Trondheim-Tyholt for some of those years.
Climate-data.org claims a mean annual of 5.2C for Trondheim for those years. Using the climate robot on weatheronline, the mean annual for Trondheim-Værnes is 6.1C for 1982-2012.
So it seems climate-data-org is a bit too cold. Especially for July - September. The difference in July is almost 2C.

I was able to find Abessinia where it is, and it's supposedly in SE Finland near Kouvola. It doesn't have a weather station at all, at least not official.
A new discovery for me as well, with the "city" of Squires Gully coming to my attention. About 15 km inland from Patons Rock - no wonder I've never heard of it, bush country now, but there were goldmining towns around there back in the day. Warmest month is 17.8C and coldest is 8.1C, rainfall is 2600 mm.
Completely inaccurate and useless, just like all 3rd party weather/climate sites.
