Notices:

As of Dec. 15, 2011 the OTTAWA MACDONALD-CARTIER INT’L A and HAMILTON A weather reporting stations have switched over to new NAV CANADA sensors and reporting tools. Due to a new format, hourly data from these stations is not yet available on our website. If you are interested in daily data for these stations from Dec 15, 2011 forward, they can now be found under their new weather station names, OTTAWA INT’L and HAMILTON. For more information, please click here and expand the message. Thank you for your patience while we work to upgrade our system to display these data.

We are currently experiencing some problems with the French version of the Climate Summaries on our Products & Services page. We are working to rectify the problem and ask for your patience during this time of technical difficulty. In the meantime, please refer to the data available from the English Climate Summaries page.

The Notice Inventory contains a record of all past and current Notices.

Canadian Cities are Weather Winners!

From St. John's to Victoria, Canadians love to brag about the weather that they endure (or enjoy!). Surely their community must get the most in the entire country! But which Canadian city really is the rainiest, the snowiest or the windiest? And where is the sunshine capital?

To find the answers, David Phillips, Environment Canada's Senior Climatologist, and the nation's favourite weather guru, has analyzed 30 years of recent weather data for Canada's 100 largest cities. His results will not only provide for entertaining conversations around the dinner table, but will also be of assistance to local governments, Chambers of Commerce, tourism and recreation businesses and those seeking weather havens for retirement or health purposes.
