This summer, the Mountain Weather Forecast will look different as the Meteorological Service of Canada focuses on the emergency planning community.
For the past several years, the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) has provided a daily Mountain Weather Forecast on our website all year round. The Mountain Weather Forecast is a real asset to site visitors, who use it to make informed decisions about how and where to recreate in the backcountry.
Starting May 1, the Mountain Weather Forecast will look different as the MSC shifts its focus to a dedicated weather product for the emergency planning and management community, rather than a daily weather forecast for mountain recreation. The written blog content will continue for BC until May 21, and then take a hiatus until the fall. This means that there will not be a daily Mountain Weather Forecast on our website this summer, but the model graphics, current condition loops, and meteograms will remain live through the off-season to support decision making in the mountains. The Mountain Weather Forecast will come back as usual before the start of avalanche forecasting season.
We appreciate MSC and the weather products they provide to both our users and our avalanche forecasters. We look forward to the return of the Mountain Weather Forecast in November 2024.
