Summary: | Forecasts of daily maximum and minimum temperature have become of increasing importance to both agriculture and industry, and reasonable accuracy has been attained in predicting these values. The success in prediction has been largely due to the persistence of either a maritime or continental type of climate. The Canadian Atlantic coast is affected by an unceasing change of both continental and maritime types of air; consequently, a more thorough knowledge of temperature distribution and related weather conditions is required for successful temperature prediction. |
