22 c with clouds that burn off midday after a refreshing shower overnight vs hellish heat that kills elderly folks and wildlife? Tough choice...

To say that I was not a fan of the last heat dome would be a severe understatement. No heat domes ever again please.

Forget about accuracy nowadays. These stations are no more trustworthy than personal weather stations, and oftentimes less so.

Did they ever fix YVR's humidity sensor? :lol:

Edit: nope
If they did that then they would have a tougher time pushing global warming and less snow. YXX seems to always be under reporting. They might be a bit warmer in the winter than me since they are lower but generally they are cooler and less precip than actual. I found their wind reporting almost the same as what my old lacrose station reported.

Mixed slush at 350’ right now.

I think that's why l stopped looking at your E.C./NAV stations except for afew around the province but l find local PWS are pretty accurate.

No precip here, I do hear dripping but it's just the snow on the roof melting. Still have about 9 cm and the road hasn't been plowed. I'm almost hoping it rains because I want to get out tomorrow, have a few things to do.

2.7c in Sechelt
