The average total Growing Degree Days (GDD) for a given year, computed using a base temperature of 5°C, over a 30 year time span (or as close to that as possible). <\/SPAN>The formula used was: <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Max((Tmax + Tmin)/2 - 5, 0) where <\/SPAN><\/P>

Tmax = MIN(30, Daily Max Temperature) <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Tmin = MAX(Daily Min Temperature, 5)<\/SPAN><\/P>

Temperatures were determined from Environment Canada historical weather data. The GDD were calculated for the entire year, as opposed to being limited to the spring and summer.<\/SPAN><\/P>
