I'm not sure l believe this is a fairly new location the houses in the area were built in or around 2014.
So where is the data online that this station is recording?

That's the sad thing Dogmeister it's a volunteer station most likely monthy reports are sent to EC. good luck trying to find data online for this station probably not.
But at least you have my mostly accurate readings avaliable. :lol:

True but given its location it's not a major issue.

I'm back from my 15 days trip in the SC and VI. Here are some new photos. ;)

Alberni Robertson Creek.

Clearly not a good station (45.5°C in June was well overestimated; 42.7°C in Port Alberni on the same day, same elevation, 4.6 km apart).

Sheringham Point (near Sooke).

It's a very cool area in summer. New all-time record in June 2021: 33.4°C and 3 max > 30°C in a row. In July 2021 (not a cool month in SW BC), the highest max of the month was... 17.6°C! :lol:

Tofino. Something is weird: no Stevenson screen on site. Closer to the tarmac, it looks like there's a smaller station.

Oh that's absolutely horrible Goose man, way to close to the hot pavement.
Plus the rain guage is not level at all. please find some more stations if your still on the island thank you.
