Default Fabulous weather and climate presentation [OT?]

Slightly off topic unless you are interested in comparing what other
countries' met offices web sites are like compared to UKMO. This is for
Canada - if you've not seen it, the presentation, explainations and what you
get for free is terrific.The forecasts and info for UK sites looked accurate
and well presented as well.

Yep I agree - one of those sites I check on daily, only because of the
extremes of weather they have. Check on a place called Alert, -35c - don't
imagine many people live their but they may have problems starting their
snowmobiles in the morning !

cheers

The place is well named. At those sort of temperatures, I imagine that
if you don't remain alert to the dangers then you could soon be dead.

I was out in Regina (Saskatchewan) last winter when the temp was down
at -30C. (wind-chill -40C at times)

What was strange was how normal everything was. Its a modern city of 250
000, shopping malls, normal sorts of cars on the roads etc. (Very little
snow on the ground - its right in the heart of the Canada so dry). It was
very easy to get lulled into a false sense of security about the weather and
forget that frostbite was a serious hazard everytime you went out. ..And
tough luck if you didn't remember to plug the engine block heater in when
you parked the car.

(That's when I began to appreciate wind chill warnings on the weather
forecast - not like the BBC!)
