Quick Viewer

The Quick Viewer includes hundreds of static, prebuilt maps, some dating back to 1901. Examples include drought maps, soil moisture maps, and the Agro-Climatic Atlas, which displays relevant climate elements like precipitation, heat units, solar radiation, temperature, and more.

Climate Mapper

The Climate Mapper allows you to customize maps by selecting various measurements such as precipitation, mean, minimum or maximum temperature, relative humidity, radiation, and wind speed. Mapping information can be displayed based on a yearly, quarterly, monthly, or growing season basis. Information from 1901 to 2003 is available. You can also zoom in to smaller geographical areas for more detail.

Weather Mapper

The Weather Mapper creates customized maps of near real time data of various measurements, such as precipitation, snow fall, frost severity/extent, corn heat units, and more. The data is current up to 24 hours the previous day, which makes this viewer ideal for monitoring growing conditions around the province.

The weather data available varies between stations, with some stations displaying several weather elements, and others displaying a small number of elements. The data is current up to the previous day.
