Using the data from nearby weather stations surrounding the park (Doig Lookout, Shell Hamberg, and Hotchkiss Auto), average daily temperatures for the period 1991-2020 exceed 10 °C (50 °F) only for June, July, and August while average daily temperatures are less than 0 °C (32 °F) for November through March. Over the same years, the long-run average precipitation for the wettest months, June and July, is 90 to 115 millimetres (3.5 to 4.5 in) per month; conversely, it is less than 40 millimetres (1.6 in) per month from October through April. 117: 693:
