Two years ago while looking for something to brighten the walls of my empty apartment, I came across a bin of posters being given away by (presumably) the geography department of the university. Being a fan of informative artwork, I stuck them on my walls, and have been studiously examining them ever since. However, I am now vacating and moving on; so for posterity, and your infotainment, here is a selection from "Atlas of Canada" published by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys.

Noticed that the first four charts of mean daily temperature all use the same shade of orange for Vancouver. That sounds about right. :)
ReplyDeleteIt should also be noted that these maps were produced in the early 1950s :) Not much has changed in Vancouver's rainfall patterns since then :)
