Talk About the Weather in Canada!

Canadians love to talk about the weather, and we have a lot of weather to talk about. Fortunately, Environment Canada's Weather Winners provides lots of information to help support tall weather tales. David Phillips, Environment Canada's Senior Climatologist, has analyzed 30 years of weather data for the 100 largest cities in Canada.

The weather data is sorted in a couple of different ways. You can select a city to see how it ranks in more than 70 weather categories or you can select a weather category to see how the cities rank.  And you don't need to invent tall tales to come up with extreme weather stories in Canada. Check out Canada's Top Weather Stories for 2011. While the year before we were worried about not enough snow for the Olympics, in 2011 big concerns were unprecedented floods in the West and in Quebec and a wildfire in Alberta that ravaged the town of Slave Lake.
