These are ones I like looking at, either for info (first one) or because they're neat:

Radar: https://atmos.uw.edu/current-weather/northwest-radar/ can also access IR, real time info.

I remember someone said that some of these following ones are based on model predictions and don't show actual conditions.

The world, wind, temp, etc, love the visual and that you can spin the world around and zoom in and out. https://earth.nullschool.net

Found this link today. BC govt launches website
Where one can see how much snow is falling at many locations in real time. Yessir.

News article link.

Tool link:

https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/ ... ac6793bd2e

The Snow Stations Interactive Map.


Want to know if there’s less snow falling this year compared to past years in British Columbia? Finding out is 'snow' problem at all.

The B.C. Government has released a handy tool that allows users to find out how much snow an area has received historically and in near real time.

The Snow Stations Interactive Map allows viewers to click on little snowflakes that provide the exact location of a monitoring station, the area’s elevation and links to snow accumulation graphs and downloadable data.
The fun map gives the public access to information collected by the Provincial Snow Survey network and partner organizations. The government says the snow data is collected and transmitted hourly using the data collection system on geostationary satellites, which are operated by the

“The remotely sensed snow and meteorological data from automated snow weather stations is available in near real time, including snow-water equivalent, snow depth, air temperature and precipitation,” the Government website states.

“Current-year, near-real-time hourly data for the previous seven days, and graphs of snow-water equivalent from Oct. 1 to the end of the snow season (typically late June), are updated daily.”

You can also search for a snow station by name or ID number on the map.

Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

This site is utter garbage. The past data is completely random bunk. For example, here is Kamloops where i highlighted 1971 since it was one of the most extreme heat waves on record in BC, and look what they show! The actual high was 105F or 40.6C, the hottest day recorded in Kamloops until tied in 2014 and then again in 2018.

Also, why did they start at a low point of 1950? The five hottest day on record at Kamloops were prior to 1950.

Okay, I realized that that was a model. Not sure what it was based on, but in any rate, they give the "actual data" (I had to click on the right thing), but the actual data is still wrong. For both Kamloops and Abbotsford, they under report the maximum temperatures. Abbotsford was 38C, not 37C in 2009!!!!
