Weather conditions can have a major impact on our recreational and economic activities as well as pose a serious health and safety threat. Environment Canada recognizes the importance of ensuring that Canadians have access to vital weather forecasts and warnings, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As Canada’s official source for weather warnings, Environment Canada’s Meteorological Service has developed products and services that can be accessed free of charge to help you be better prepared before severe weather strikes. These products and services can guide you in making informed decisions to protect yourself, your family and your property from potential harm.
