Insufficient events refers to stations that did not experience enough years with extreme heat events to perform a trend analysis. For more information, please refer to the Methods section (www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/environmental-indicators/extreme-heat-events.html#methods). The proportion of stations with statistically significant trends is low, but this is expected, given the rarity of extreme heat events, climate trend variability, large year-to-year variability at individual locations, and the limited number and distribution of reporting stations. To see the trends at monitoring stations, refer to Annex A (www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/environmental-indicators/extreme-heat-events.html#annex-a).",,,,, Source: Environment and Climate Change Canada (2024) Third generation of homogenized surface air temperature data (www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/climate-change/science-research-data/climate-trends-variability/adjusted-homogenized-canadian-data/surface-air-temperature.html).,,,,, Available on the Environmental indicators website (www.canada.ca/environmental-indicators).,,,,,
