Weather Stations In BC (Photos)

[Canada Goose]

I wonder why it's sitting over gravel?

Yep...

Glacier, check your pm.

Maybe the station still exists but nobody operates it...
One day I will go there to check.

We expect a full report Sheriff Goosey you may have to issue a fine for aborting a functional weather station.

Yep...

Glacier, check your pm.

Probably to pee you off.

North Cowichan

We need to revisit this one.

The station is located here, which is way too close to the asphalt.

What kind of structure is this anyway?

VICTORIA GONZALES CS (we spread my Grandma's ashes here last year... no, we didn't dump her down the rain gauge).

Saturna Island

There are two EC station stations on Saturna Island. One is where you show, but the other Saturna CAPMoN is more inland, and thus a lot warmer. You can find it here.

Salmon Arm (not bad, but not enough clearance in the other direction).

This is a very mild location to represent Salmon Arm because it's right near the lake, and is constantly being hit with the breeze off the water. It's like how YVR isn't exactly a good representation of Metro Vancouver.

Moving along, it's interesting that Ballenas Island doesn't exist if you look at Google satellite view, but view in regular map view and it does.

This is the best I can guess as far as where the instruments are...

EDIT:

Yup, confirmed with a different angle...

^^ Haha, I usually search the thread before posting, but didn't for that one. Moving on...

Boat Bluff

Your picture doesn't show the instruments very well. Here are some better ones... (terrible thermometer location!)

BTW, Boat Bluff is the wettest place in Canada today. In the past wetter locations had stations (namely Henderson Lake on the Island), and certainly other places have claimed to be "the wettest inhabited place in Canada" (I'm thinking of Ocean Falls).

EDIT: Are they using a Davis weather station?
