About Western Canada Weather Network

The Western Canada Weather Network was founded in September of 2010 by Blaine Carmichael of Calgary Weather Station in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In March of 2014, Ken True assumed hosting and administration duties for the network. Membership is open to those with personal weather stations in British Columbia or Alberta and member sites can be viewed on the home page.

The weather networking idea comes from Chris Arndt at www.sloweather.com, he is the founder of the Southwestern Weather Network.

The members of this site contribute their data to the map on the home page allowing for a clear and live snap shot of the weather in British Columbia and Alberta. It is a great place to visit when there is a storm predicted for British Columbia or Alberta. or if you plan on traveling to or in the area.

If you have a weather website using a personal weather station running Weather Display, Virtual Weather Station, WeatherLink, WUHU, or Cumulus in British Columbia or Alberta, and are publishing weather data to a personal weather website, you are invited to join our network. Membership is free, Contact Us to get started. We offer a member mesomap for your site.

The map style and rotating data display was a result of collaboration between SWN members as they built their network. Ken True from Saratoga-Weather.org supplied the backend programming that makes it all work.
