As I mentioned in an earlier post, it would be useful to have a map showing the weather stations around Manitoba.  It looks as though there are about 50 stations across Manitoba that provide hourly weather data.  I have taken the coordinates from the National Climate Data and Information Archive and mapped the approximate locations of those weather stations. 

NOTE:  I had to do a number of conversions, cut and paste information from web pages, and so on.  These are at best rough estimates of the station locations and it’s almost guaranteed that I’ve made some mistakes along the way.  The accuracy of this map is questionable – use with caution.  If you have any corrections, please send them to me and I will update the files.  With that caution in mind, here is a link to the Google Earth kmz file and another to the shapefile in UTM. 

I find this information very useful when Tone Ag Consulting is called in on a damage claim and we want to know what the weather was like on particular day.  Finding a nearby weather station is a bit tricky at times, so I’m hoping that this map will simplify the process.  I’m hoping to make up similar files for the Manitoba Ag-Weather Program in the not-too-distant future.
