Canada is a big country with a wide range of weather conditions which can have huge impact on our lives. Canadians, the economy and public safety, all rely on accurate weather forecasts.
So how does Environment and Climate Change Canada forecast the weather? In order to predict tomorrow’s weather or next week’s, we need to know what’s happening, right now.
Special equipment monitors and collects information on current weather conditions; such as temperature, pressure, rain fall and wind speed, across the country, and the world.
All this information is collected and combined in order to best estimate what’s currently happening in our atmosphere.
These atmospheric conditions are fed into powerful supercomputers, which use the laws of physics, to model and predict how these conditions will change over time.
The supercomputers’ predictions are further analysed and improved by a team of meteorologists. These weather experts work around the clock to provide forecasts for the general public, aircraft, ships and businesses. And they provide warnings and alerts if bad or dangerous weather is expected.
Our scientists work year-round to continuously improve weather forecasting.
Thanks to their advances, we are moving towards Earth Modelling Systems, where we look at more than just the atmosphere. More and more we are including other parts of the earth’s ecosystem such as the oceans, ice, lakes and rivers.
Environment and Climate Change Canada’s weather forecasts support economic activity and protect the security of Canadians.
Make sure you’re weather ready and climate smart.
