Reading the seasons
Station
ECCC station WHISTLER (climate ID 1048898) stands at 657.8 m at Nesters, about 1.5 km north of Whistler Village. Its successor WHISTLER - NESTERS (climate ID 1100875) reports from the same spot. ECCC marks the station as meeting WMO standards for temperature and precipitation.
Period
These are ECCC's 1981–2010 Canadian Climate Normals, because ECCC has published no 1991–2020 normals for any Whistler station. Temperature and precipitation run from 1981 to 2007 with at most one year missing. Wind draws on 22 years, and bright sunshine on 16 years from 1986 to 2001.
Series
rainMm holds total precipitation, which counts the water in snow, with rain alone in rainfallMm. Rain days count days with at least 0.2 mm of precipitation. sunshineH is ECCC's mean hours of bright sunshine.
Snow
freshSnow is the mean monthly snowfall in centimetres, 418.7 cm across the year. snowfallDays counts days with at least 0.2 cm of new snow, and snowDays counts days with at least 1 cm on the ground. snowDepthMean and snowDepthMonthEnd give the mean depth and the depth on the last day of the month in centimetres.
Wind
ECCC gives mean wind speed in km/h, and windMean divides it by 3.6 to get metres per second. The most frequent direction is south in every month.
Humidity
ECCC gives humidity only as readings at 06:00 and 15:00, and the 06:00 series has no November or December value, so humidity stays empty.

The numbers come from ECCC's 1981–2010 normals page for WHISTLER. The coordinates and elevation come from the header of that page.
