One map shows the seven Public Weather Forecast Districts of Canada, and their component areas. Weather stations vary in the type of instrument used to measure precipitation. Historical temperature data does not exist for measurement heights other than this standard height.

Publishing to the public requires approval. These are locations from which weather observations are made on a routine basis by trained weather observers, usually at 6-hour periods each day. Some Environment Canada stations also have more than one precipitation gauge which helps prevent missing data and provides a check for instrument malfunctions. Each forecast district has one or more public weather offices; these provide the public weather services needed by the district. Climate data web site is a gateway to information on matters such as past weather, climate normals, historical radar, almanac averages and extremes, and engineering climate data.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the distribution of various types of weather-reporting stations, as well as the way in which Canada is divided for purposes of issuing weather information to the public. All temperature sensors (WIN and Environment Canada) have an accuracy of ± 0.6°C or better. NOTE: Use of this dataset falls under the Data License Agreement of Environment Canada and supersedes Open Data Edmonton's Terms of Use.

WIN follows Environment Canada’s principles for locating stations. Toll Free: 1.888.935.0000 To achieve this, all WIN stations are equipped with dual sensors and dual data loggers which provides a "backup" should the primary sensors or data loggers fail. WIN temperature sensors are checked for accuracy prior to and during the growing season. In addition, WIN temperature sensor output from the twin instruments are compared monthly during the growing season to insure no sensors are malfunctioning.

Temperature sensors have an operating range of -40°C to +60°C and are capable of recording temperatures within 0.1°C. All WIN and some Environment Canada stations use a "tipping bucket rain gauge" which measures liquid precipitation in 0.2 millimetre increments. Hot spot in British Columbia: 16.9 °C 62.4 °F Ashcroft.

Environment Canada station sites are selected and operated by Environment Canada following their standards. Station temperature is recorded at 15 minute intervals. Past weather data includes: temperature, snow, snow on ground, precipitation, rain, wind speed and direction, heating and cooling degree days, visibility, humidex, wind chill and relative humidity in Canada. To subscribe via email notifications, you must first sign in. Environment Canada’s stations have temperature sensors located at 1.25 to 1.5 metres above ground. Data processing and quality control measures are currently performed by Weather Innovations Incorporate (WIN).

If you click on a marker for a station, a descriptive window will open and show the station features, a link to the station's homepage, the regional network affiliations for the station, and current conditions at the station (where available). These are locations from which observations of temperature, precipitation and other weather elements are made once or twice daily, usually by volunteers. Download our new mobile weather app .

These target areas were selected by the Corporation to provide even geographic distribution of weather stations. You have unsaved data that will be lost if you leave this page. All WIN temperature sensors are at 1.25 metres so that temperature measurements are directly comparable to historical Environment Canada data used to develop normal first fall frost dates and premium rates.

This standard height has been adopted by meteorologists so that temperature measurements are representative of a relatively large surrounding area, and are not as greatly influenced by small changes in topography or by surface characteristics. All WIN precipitation gauges are calibrated to Environment Canada standards prior to each season. WIN weather stations are specifically designed to meet the data needs of SCIC ’s programs by providing a continuous dataset; that is, a dataset with essentially no missing data. Cold spot in Canada: -29.8 °C-21.6 °F Dawson Airport, YT.

Some Environment Canada stations use "weighing gauges" which measure any type of precipitation—liquid or solid—by measuring the weight of the water in the precipitation.
