Environment and Climate Change Canada

Daily climate observations are derived from two sources of data. The first are Daily Climate Stations producing one or two observations per day of temperature, precipitation. The second are hourly stations that typically produce more weather elements e.g. wind or snow on ground. Only a subset of...

A station is a site on a river or lake where water quantity (water level and flow) are collected and recorded.

Climate observations are derived from two sources of data. The first are Daily Climate Stations producing one or two observations per day of temperature, precipitation. The second are hourly stations that typically produce more weather elements e.g. wind or snow on ground.

Climate Normals and Averages are used to summarize or describe the average climatic conditions of a particular location. At the completion of each decade, Environment and Climate Change Canada updates its Climate Normals for as many locations and as many climatic characteristics as possible. The...

Real-time water level and flow (discharge) data collected at over 2100 hydrometric stations across Canada (last 30 days).

A cross-country summary of the averages and extremes for the month, including precipitation totals, max-min temperatures, and degree days. This data is available from stations that produce daily data.

Canadian hourly climate data are available for public access from the ECCC/MSC's National Climate Archive. These are surface weather stations that produce hourly meteorological observations, taken each hour of the day. Only a subset of the total stations found on Environment and Climate Change...
