Big update 🚀
We’ve launched the Pro Version of the Canadian Mesonet Portal, along with major improvements across all versions of the platform! Pro Version features will continue rolling out gradually throughout the month, so keep an eye out!
Details:
www.uwo.ca/nmp/news/202...
We are currently implementing a large update to the Canadian Mesonet Portal (meso.cssl.ca), which will result in data being temporarily unavailable for the next 24 hours. Please be patient with us as we work to make the site even better!
The Northern Mesonet Project at the Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory (@cssl.ca) is looking for a Research Software Engineer to join our team!
Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested! You can find the details of the position (ID# 41923) here: www.uwo.ca/hr/working/s...
A small update from @meso.cssl.ca: we have updated our watches / warnings displayer to match the new colour-coded weather alert system used by Environment Canada.
You can find more information on the new system here: www.canada.ca/en/services/...
On a different storm, a wind gust of nearly 130 km/h was reported in North Battleford, SK #skstorm #skwx

Hail track from the MESH product also showed intense hail (~75 mm)

A new update is now live on @meso.cssl.ca! This update allows for viewing historical weather station data both on the map and in graphs. Currently we have up to January 1, 2025 available, but aim to make more historical data available soon! You can see more details here: www.uwo.ca/nmp/news/202...

Another big update is now live on @meso.cssl.ca! This includes hail impact reports, maximum estimated size of hail (MESH) layers, present weather reports, and other minor updates to our display options. You can learn more about this update here: www.uwo.ca/nmp/news/202...
Incredibly strong wind gust of 102 km/h reported in Chatham, ON last night at 2AM! Check out meso.cssl.ca to see the data!
Crazy early season heat along the Red River valley in ND/MN and southern MB. Up to 100F (38C) in Hallock MN, 99F (37C) in Grand Forks, ND and 37.0C (99F) in Emerson MB as of 240 pm local time. All record highs for May 11.
Thanks! :)
Finally, we've updated the mesonet portal to include even more variables such as solar radiation, wet bulb temperature, wind chill, visibility, and much much more! If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at nmp@uwo.ca.
You can now also search for specific stations and locations by using our search function!
If you’re not a fan of the World Meteorological Organization’s standard notation, you can modify the stations to a more simplified view to gain a clearer understanding of a particular variable!
Weather alerts now have the option to be clicked on to access more detailed information about the specific alert!
You can now save your preferred settings, layers, filters, and view by clicking the export button. This generates a URL that you can bookmark or share with others for easy access!
A very big update is now live on the Canadian Mesonet Portal! This includes new meteorological variables, saving / exporting settings and more! For more details, you can check out the link below. But here are the main highlights for you to see in a 🧵:

Thanks for catching that! We’re on it. Right now our QC algorithms are a bit rudimentary, but will get better with time.
