Growing Season Frost Free Period (-2 °C) is defined as the count of the number of days from the day after the last spring frost (-2 °C) to the day before the first fall frost (-2 °C). These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.

First Fall Frost (0 °C) is defined as the average day, during the second half of the year, of the first occurrence of a minimum temperature at or below 0 °C. These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.

Last Spring Frost (-2 °C) is defined as the average day, during the first half of the year, of the last occurrence of a minimum temperature at or below -2 °C. These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.

Last Spring Frost (0 °C) is defined as the average day, during the first half of the year, of the last occurrence of a minimum temperature at or below 0 °C. These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.

Growing Degree Days (GDDs) are used to estimate the growth and development of plants and insects during the growing season. Insect and plant development are very dependent on temperature and the daily accumulation of heat. The amount of heat required to move a plant or pest to the next...

Frost Day Count (0 °C) is defined as the number of days in a calendar month where the minimum daily temperature for the climate day was at or below 0 °C. These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.

Frost Day Count (-2 °C) is defined as the count of the number of days in a calendar month where the minimum daily temperature for the climate day was at or below -2 °C. These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.

The Global Ensemble Prediction System (GEPS) carries out physics calculations to arrive at probabilistic predictions of atmospheric elements from the current day out to 16 days into the future (up to 32 days once a week on Thursdays at 00UTC). The GEPS produces different outlooks (scenarios) to...

The Canadian Precipitation Analysis System (CaPA) produces a best estimate of 6 and 24 hour precipitation amounts. This objective estimate integrates data from in situ precipitation gauge measurements, radar QPEs and a trial field generated by a numerical weather prediction system. In order to...
