BC meteorological station data

Description:

This web-based data server provides current access to information from multiple meteorological/climate stations, via a dynamic and actively maintained database. New data are incorporated into the database on an hourly, near real-time basis from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Rural Developments’ Wildfire Management Branch, and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change’s Air Quality Network. Additionally, the database is periodically updated with non real-time data from BC Hydro, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development’s Forest Ecosystem Research network and additional Environment and Climate Change Canada datasets.
