Did you know that your local school might be part of the School-Based Weather Station Network, victoriaweather.ca? Schools up and down Vancouver Island, as well as a few other buildings, have compact weather stations on their rooves! 

Ed Wiebe, from UVIC's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, joins us on this episode, to give us the history of the project, the challenges during a pandemic, and fascinating weather info from cold fronts to a meteotsunami!

While I've used the website for years to check weather in my neighbourhood, Ed provides much more context as to all the ways the collected data can be used. If you're a weather buff, you'll enjoy listening.
