weekly Report
Weekly Conditions Report, August 24, 2026 to August 30, 2026
Seven days of measured weather, lake temperature, air quality, and birdsong at Aera Cabins, ending August 30, 2026.
This weekly report brings together seven completed local-day reports from August 24, 2026 through August 30, 2026. Across those daily summaries, mean air temperature was 17.4°C and the weather station recorded 4.5 mm of cumulative daily rainfall. Each day remains independently bounded in America/Vancouver time before the weekly values are combined.
The rainfall total is the sum of each day’s highest cumulative local-day station reading, not a sum of hourly observations. Daily mean air temperatures ranged from 15°C to 20.3°C. This describes the variation among daily averages; the individual report pages retain each day’s measured minimum, maximum, wind, gust, humidity, and coverage details.
Cowichan Lake averaged 21.6°C at the dock over the seven daily reports. Daily average lake temperatures ranged from 20.8°C to 22.3°C, a spread of 1.5°C. The weekly lake figure is therefore a mean of daily sensor summaries rather than a claim that every moment of the week held the same temperature.
The mean daily AQI was 14, with individual daily averages ranging from 3 to 28. Mean daily PM2.5 was 3.4 µg/m³. Every daily average included in the weekly calculation remained in the Good AQI category.
Final rolling 24-hour BirdWeather snapshots ranged from 77 to 716 detections and from 8 to 13 species. These are comparisons among the seven final daily snapshots; the report does not add rolling detection totals together because doing so would repeatedly count overlapping detections.
Period Highlights
- 4.5 mm rain over seven days
- Lake averaged 21.6°C
- Mean daily AQI 14
Methodology
Weekly values aggregate seven completed daily reports in America/Vancouver time. Means are based on daily sensor summaries and rainfall sums each day’s maximum cumulative local-day reading. Bird figures compare each day’s final rolling 24-hour snapshot and are not summed.
