Ottawa, Canada precipitation -- 2019 versus 1919

One of the lines 
in the chart below 
shows total precipitation 
in 1919, and the other
is for 2019.

One century apart,
the annual peak 
precipitation 
was on the same day 
(October 31st, day 304), 
with 1919 getting 
46 mm ... and 
2019 getting 35mm, 
which was a tie with 
April 4, 2019.

Many places 
across Canada 
declared a 
Climate Emergency
in 2019 without 
bothering to check 
if the weather 
was really different 
than 100 years earlier.
