Conditions Report, August 31, 2026

August 31, 2026 was dry, with no recorded rain. The on-property weather station captured 25 hourly snapshots during the local calendar day, providing the basis for the temperature, wind, humidity, and rainfall summaries below.

Air temperature ranged from 13–23.3°C, a measured spread of 10.3°C, and averaged 17.7°C across the available observations. Relative humidity averaged 70%. Wind speeds averaged 3 km/h, while the strongest recorded gust reached 14 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 20.7°C and stayed between 19.4–21.2°C, a daily spread of 1.8°C. That range was narrower than the air-temperature range measured over the same date. The lake summary is based on 25 archived sensor snapshots.

The lakeshore air monitor recorded an average AQI of 15, with hourly values ranging from 6 to 27. Average fine particulate concentration was 3.7 µg/m³. The daily average remained within the Good AQI category. These figures summarize 25 archived readings and do not substitute a regional estimate for the measurements made at the property.

BirdWeather’s final rolling 24-hour snapshot contained 92 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. 25 bird snapshots were archived during this report period.
