Now that's a good representation of Vancouver City's temperature unlike YVR where as far as l know nobody lives.
Probably somewhat on the warm side as it tends to get warmer the further east one is (at least in the summer). But definitely more representative of the city as a whole than YVR, being as it is in Sea Breeze Central. The highly unrepresentative nature of YVR, particularly for summer heat, gets rehashed annually on this forum.
It would be nice if EC had a station at, say, City Hall. That strikes me as a pretty representative location. Alas, no. All the stations seem to be on or near the salt water. Source: https://dd.weather.gc.ca/observations/d ... n_list.csv .

It can definitely be wrong, but it also depends on your microclimate. If you have lots of concrete and not much vegetation, humidity will be less.
My humidity and dew point is usually higher than YXX on sunny days, but my yard is full of trees and vegetation which releases moisture. YXX is just grass which has mostly turned brown, so I expect the humidity to be lower there.
Accu Rite instruments are quite accurate Jr. Man. agree with Abby Sr. YXX is just a dried out chunk of grass by now.

Agreed good analysis Rubes apparently Vancouver City Hall did have a station years ago probably just daily obs. and that was it.
Tman was scouting out a good location afew years ago for Vancouver City.

Made all the more gross with the mugginess and smoke. Smoke + muggy makes the air feel filthy. It's not just sticky, it's like someone is smearing grease on you.

I was worried about the AQ improving...but fortunately a fresh batch of smoke is pushing westward for this afternoon.
Enjoy!
That's good to hear, man. I was worried I would have to breathe in some clean, fresh air. Crisis averted.

A dew point 8-10C lower than YXX seems egregious though.
I made a mistake in my original post. It's actually my humidity that is often 8-10% lower than YXX. The dew point is usually 2-3C lower.
Sorry about that, I have no idea how I got that wrong.

I hope your pines don't get smoked out too much!
