Northern Mesonet Project

A small update from @meso.cssl.ca: we have updated our watches / warnings displayer to match the new colour-coded weather alert system used by Environment Canada.

You can find more information on the new system here: www.canada.ca/en/services/...

On a different storm, a wind gust of nearly 130 km/h was reported in North Battleford, SK #skstorm #skwx

Crazy winds caught by @meso.cssl.ca from the storms on August 20th in AB/SK. Maximum wind speed of nearly 150 km/h recorded in Atlee, AB.

Hail track from the MESH product also showed intense hail (~75 mm)

Thanks! :)

Finally, we've updated the mesonet portal to include even more variables such as solar radiation, wet bulb temperature, wind chill, visibility, and much much more! If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at nmp@uwo.ca.

You can now also search for specific stations and locations by using our search function!

If you’re not a fan of the World Meteorological Organization’s standard notation, you can modify the stations to a more simplified view to gain a clearer understanding of a particular variable!

Weather alerts now have the option to be clicked on to access more detailed information about the specific alert!

You can now save your preferred settings, layers, filters, and view by clicking the export button. This generates a URL that you can bookmark or share with others for easy access!

A very big update is now live on the Canadian Mesonet Portal! This includes new meteorological variables, saving / exporting settings and more! For more details, you can check out the link below. But here are the main highlights for you to see in a 🧵:

Thanks for catching that! We’re on it. Right now our QC algorithms are a bit rudimentary, but will get better with time.
