Have you ever heard of
Enviroment Canada weather
forecasts? This sample map is from their home page.
Actually, this is a misspelling. The agency is called
Environment Canada,
with an extra n.
Other common spelling errors include envirorment canada weather, enviorment canada weather and enviornment canada weather.
Canada
is a very large country and a single government body covering the meteorology for the entire area would probably function best if divided into practical segments for individual analysis. Then the pieces could be integrated at the final level to make a whole picture.
That is basically how it works. This home page allows the user to select a province and then examine individual cities within that province. Or pick a major city directly from the national map.
Once you pick your city,
the forecast
shows up, outlining the high and low temperatures for each of the next five days. It lets us know when clouds, rain or snow is expected, and provides wind forecasts for the next day or so.
What else?
If there are any
weather warnings or watches in effect or recently ended, a banner at the top of the city's forecast page will tell you so.
Play around with this site a bit. Notice the list of text links at the left, where you can access satellite and radar imagery if desired. Look at NAV Canada aviation forecasts, examine weather maps, or view past weather data for your location.
Weather forecasting combines science with technology to predict the conditions in the atmosphere at some time in the future. With this weatheroffice page, you get to pick where.
There are many other options. Many things I have yet to discover. See if you can beat me to it at the Enviroment Canada weather site.
I have also used other areas within the site for nation-wide weather warnings, weather maps and seasonal forecasts quite regularly, but there are others that may suit your interests as well. Even one for
meteorology careers
in the military service.

Ever been to Canada? Or some other northern place? Russia? Sweden? Alaska?
Antarctica??
