      There are details in the comments just below yours... You can send an email to Environment Canada about Sheringham, or to the Sheringham Lighthouse Preservation Society. The Gordon's beach station died and needs to be replaced and that takes time and money.

      That’s awesome Cal, great to have you on board as a regular contributor and hopefully it will help your business to grow and prosper. Odd I hadn’t seen your name before but sponsoring a weather station sounds like it’ll pay off for you in spades 🤔

      Sheringham Point is from Environment Canada and it's been on and off for a while. There was talk about decommissioning but hopefully it will be back. I don't know any more than that.

      The Gordon's Beach weather station seems to have died a while back. It was in a fairly sheltered location on the beach so I am not sure it is worth trying to restore it...

        Last I heard from ECCC the Anemometer is now removed but they were exploring other options for relocation.

    Can you scrape the Trial Island info from the EC Lighthouse reports page to populate this latest reports page ?

      That’s where I originally got the data from before the school network station came online. Fairly sure it’s only every 3hrs unless something changed. So not too useful.

    No Nitinat station. Web cam in mid June. Take Env. Cda. temp between Port Alb. & Tofino. If sunny ish, 5 degree diff. means marginal, 6-8 means good, 8-10 blowing hard, >10 nuke. Lake driven by thermals when PA is hot.

      Once Elevation Kiteboarding gets their school & webcam up and running (late May?) it should be available here on the site.
