== Subarctic climate ==

The cutoff for a warm-summer humid continental climate (Dfb) is to have the warmest month be below 22 degrees. The cutoff for a no-dry-season subarctic climate (Dfc) to have 1-3 warm months above 10 degrees. Considering Calgary’s warmest month (July) is 16.5 degrees. How would that not make the whole city be in a warm-summer humid continental climate? (16.5 is closer to 22 than 10.) The source shown describing Calgary’s climate is of Springbank Airport, which is not the normal place that the city measures temperature, and if we use the Calgary International Airport, it shows the July temperature being 16.5 degrees.

:@[[User:NameStuffs|NameStuffs]] 16.5 being closer to 10 than to 22 is irrelevant; that's not really how the Köppen system works. As you said, the city needs to have at most 3 months over 10C to qualify for a subarctic climate. Calgary Int. Airport has 4 months over, so it's not Dfc.  And it wouldn't matter if another station had a mean temp of 16.5: If it also has temps above 10C for 4 months, it's not subarctic. The second station in the article does in fact have 3 months, and so does qualify. [[User:Uness232|Uness232]] ([[User talk:Uness232|talk]]) 17:24, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
::Fair enough, but as a note, when the 1991-2020 temperature data for Springbank Airport is (released?), the climate classification may change also to a Dfb climate, if May and/or September become warmer than 10 degrees.

== 1991-2020 data ==

I am sorry because it may appear that I am constantly wondering about this page, but an issue I noticed is that according to Environment Canada at [https://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/faq_e.html this page,] they are not publishing the climate data for Springbank Airport. [[User:NameStuffs|NameStuffs]] ([[User talk:NameStuffs|talk]]) 19:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

:Do not mind this; I will place this in the talk page for Springbank’s weatherbox instead. [[User:NameStuffs|NameStuffs]] ([[User talk:NameStuffs|talk]]) 22:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

== "Largest" ? ==

The word "Largest" is mentioned FOUR times in first paragraph alone. It comes off as insecure, sad, and desperate. I get it, local editors are proud of their city and maybe they are trying to "pump up its tires" a bit. But it is very excessive, especially for a city which really isn't that large.

:Agree sounds like it's written for a child we can do much better then making it sound like a pop culture icon ...the best the biggest the largest etc. we'll take a stab at this in the next few days. <span style="display:inline-flex;rotate:-15deg;color:darkblue">'''[[User:Moxy|Moxy]]'''</span><span style="display:inline-flex;rotate:15deg;color:darkblue">[[User talk:Moxy|🍁]]</span> 04:37, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
:I’m an editor who does live here, and I do agree with these changes, but I feel that the lead itself should be reworded, except I’m not sure what. Should we redo the entire lead? For example, [[Edmonton]] doesn’t even mention population until a few paragraphs in. [[User:NameStuffs|NameStuffs]] ([[User talk:NameStuffs|talk]]) 19:15, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
