Rainy days per month

By definition, a rainy day is a day on which at least 0.1 liters of precipitation per m² fall. This corresponds to a 1 square meter puddle in which the water stands 0.1 mm high - insofar as the water does not seep away or evaporate. So it does not have to rain all day long. January brings the most rainy days (10.8) in British Columbia. With an average of only 6.9 days, August is the friendliest. In Saskatchewan, it rains most often in June with 9.4 days.

Precipitation amount per day

Depending on the season and the location of a country, the wind brings with it a varying amount of water. As a rule, the water evaporating in the oceans is absorbed and then transported inland. The greatest amount of rain (hail or dew are also forms of precipitation) in British Columbia occurs in November. Then about 4.0 liters per square meter fall per day. In Saskatchewan, the average amount of precipitation ranges from 0.5 liters per day in February to 2.6 in June. However, these are average values. If you consider that there are only 10.7 rainy days in British Columbia in November, each of them accounts for about 11.1 liters.

Sunshine hours per day

With 2300 hours of sunshine per year, Saskatchewan is in the lead. The most hours of sunshine (10.6 per day) are in July. British Columbia falls into second place with only 1935 hours. There the sun is visible in December even only 1.3 hours per day, so not hidden behind clouds.

Hours of daylight

The length of a day varies throughout the year and depends on the distance from the equator. The length of day measured here is the period between the middle of the morning and evening twilight. In December, the day in British Columbia is only 8.3 hours long. In June, on the other hand, it is 17.7 hours. In Saskatchewan, it is 8.5 hours in December and 17.4 in June.
