Conditions Report, August 29, 2026

August 29, 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 12.1–20°C, a measured spread of 7.9°C, and averaged 15.9°C across the available observations. Relative humidity averaged 69%. Wind speeds averaged 3.4 km/h, while the strongest recorded gust reached 13.7 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 21°C and stayed between 20.8–21.4°C, a daily spread of 0.6°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 15, with hourly values ranging from 5 to 24. Average fine particulate concentration was 3.5 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.

BirdWeather’s final rolling 24-hour snapshot contained 146 acoustic detections across 8 species, with Chestnut-backed Chickadee the most frequently detected species in that snapshot. The bird total is intentionally taken from the last snapshot of the day; adding the hourly rolling totals together would count the same detections repeatedly. 24 bird snapshots were archived during this report period.
