=== Climate ===

Cardston experiences a [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Dfb''). Along with the rest of [[southern Alberta]], Cardston is subject to [[chinook wind|chinooks]], which often bring temperatures in mid-winter well above {{convert|10|C|0|abbr=on}}. This same pattern results in more than 200 days of wind a year.
