About This Site

The UVic School-Based Weather Station Network is made up of stations mounted on schools in and around Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. We have recently expanded the network to include schools in Lake Cowichan, Qualicum and Parksville (see also www.nanaimoweather.ca). Data collected at each station are gathered in a central database here at UVic. See About the Network for more details and contact information.

We are funded by NSERC PromoScience in partnership with British Columbia School Districts 61 (Victoria), 62 (Sooke), 63 (Saanich), 64 (Gulf Islands), 68 (Nanaimo), 69 (Qualicum), 70 (Alberni), 79 (Cowichan Valley) and AChannel Victoria.
