I have removed the Central Experimental Farm climate data chart from the article for the following reasons.

• There is already a climate data chart for the readings at the airport. Most cities only provide one chart (Montreal, Vancouver, etc.) and it is most often from the airport.

• The climate data from the Central Experimental Farm is an anomaly. It is essentially fields in the centre of the city. They do not absorb heat in the same fashion as the rest of the city and it is not an accurate representation of the city’s climate. 2605:8D80:5A2:4D7D:E403:44C1:85FF:42EA (talk) 13:59, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
