Data for Canadian cities abstracted from Heating & Venttlaltng, October. 1939. I be National Joint Committee on Weather Statistics, in cooperation with the U. S. Weather Bureau, is pre paring revised Degree-Day Normals which will be available in 1945. ''Data for these cities and possibly other localities are based on readings taken at more than one official Weather Station during the 43-year period of analysis and are subject to local verification, as these figures are being examined for possible revision by the U. S. Weather Bureau. recorded by the Weather Bureau over a 43-year period4 from 1899 to 1941. The number of degree-days for a calendar day of a given year was ob tained by taking the difference between 65 F and the mean temperature determined from a reading of the maximum and minimum thermometers for a particular locality. The daily normal was established by taking an average of the 43 daily degree-day figures. These daily values were then added to obtain a monthly normal, and the yearly or seasonal degree-day figure was established by taking a summation of the monthly values. .In general, attempts to apply the degree-day method to fuel consumption over a period of less than a month are of questionable value. 4Received from U. S. Weather Bureau Sept. 1943.
