The Weather Network is Canada’s leading private weather information service, delivering detailed forecasts, radar imagery, and severe weather alerts to millions of Canadians daily. It combines data from Environment and Climate Change Canada with proprietary modelling to provide location-specific, actionable weather information.
What data does The Weather Network use?
The Weather Network relies on public data from Environment and Climate Change Canada’s observation network, global forecast models, and its own team of meteorologists. This blend allows it to deliver forecasts for any Canadian address, including the 14‑day outlook found in the Weather Network app. The live forecast above for Teresina shows how the service also covers international cities, though its primary focus remains Canada.
How does The Weather Network help during severe weather?
The service issues push notifications for weather warnings, watches, and advisories. These alerts are tied to your saved locations, such as “the weather network near ottawa on” or “the weather network near kitchener on”. For travellers, “the weather network near kingston on” provides hyper‑local conditions along the Highway 401 corridor. The website and app also feature live radar loops and a “storm tracker” for real‑time monitoring.
Is The Weather Network free to use?
Yes, the basic website and mobile app are free. The app offers optional premium features, such as ad‑free browsing and extended hourly forecasts, via a subscription.
How do I get severe weather alerts from The Weather Network?
Enable push notifications in the app for your saved locations. The service sends alerts for Environment Canada warnings, watches, and statements, including tornado, thunderstorm, and winter storm warnings.
Can I check the forecast for cities outside Canada?
Yes. The Weather Network covers thousands of international destinations, including the live forecast above for Teresina. However, forecast accuracy may vary outside Canada due to reliance on global models rather than local observational data.
