The page shows you a national map with simultaneous results from over 30 Canadian radar meteorology locations.
Each Canada environment radar weather site is indicated by a black dot, with a faint disc showing its
range,
the area covered by the radar. White dots show the major cities.
If you hit the blue play button above the map and wait a sec, you will see an animation of the rain or snowfall happening around the country.
Want more detail?
Click on a province north of the disc covering the city of your choice to get a
regional map
covering two or three provinces.
Better yet, click inside one of those grey discs for fullest detail,
complete with
colour detail
and the ability to animate, unless your radar is out of operation. That happens occasionally.
Have a look at the colour scale on the right. See how the animation tells you where the heaviest precipitation is falling, where the storm is
moving
and how fast. Sometimes you'll be able to tell if it is going to rain in the next hour or so.
If you want to learn about understanding the results, see the Common Interpretation Errors on the upper right corner of the main screen. It provides a list of
technical issues
to consider when examining the Canada weather radar display.
