Why is there a difference in forecasts from The Weather Network and Environment Canada?
Forecasts that are prepared by different forecasters will sometimes vary. When looking at satellite, radar and computer model data, different people will interpret the data differently. Although meteorology is a physical science based on mathematics, the science is so complex that a number of outcomes are possible. It is akin to when two market analysts look at the economy, they may interpret historical information differently and predict varying outcomes. At The Weather Network, we employ more than 40 meteorologists working 24/7 to ensure that our forecasts are as accurate as possible.
