Conditions Report, August 16, 2026

A measured account of weather, lake temperature, air quality, and birdsong at Aera Cabins on August 16, 2026.

Aug 16, 2026

August 16, 2026 was dry, with no recorded rain. The on-property weather station captured 24 hourly snapshots during the local calendar day, providing the basis for the temperature, wind, humidity, and rainfall summaries below.

Air temperature ranged from 14.9–26°C, a measured spread of 11.1°C, and averaged 18.9°C across the available observations. Relative humidity averaged 74%. Wind speeds averaged 2 km/h, while the strongest recorded gust reached 9 km/h. Rainfall is reported as the station’s highest cumulative local-day reading rather than a sum of hourly snapshots.

Cowichan Lake’s surface temperature at the dock averaged 22°C and stayed between 21.5–23.4°C, a daily spread of 1.9°C. That range was narrower than the air-temperature range measured over the same date. The lake summary is based on 24 archived sensor snapshots.

The lakeshore air monitor recorded an average AQI of 28, with hourly values ranging from 6 to 65. Average fine particulate concentration was 7.1 µg/m³. The daily average remained within the Good AQI category. These figures summarize 24 archived readings and do not substitute a regional estimate for the measurements made at the property.

No complete final BirdWeather snapshot was available for August 16, 2026, so the report makes no claim about the day’s detection or species totals. 0 bird snapshots were archived during the period.

Methodology

Daily values summarize hourly snapshots stored from the on-property sensors in America/Vancouver time. Temperature, humidity, wind, AQI, and PM2.5 are arithmetic summaries of available snapshots; rain is the maximum cumulative local-day reading. Bird counts are the rolling 24-hour values in the final snapshot of the day, not a sum of hourly snapshots.
