The
Weather Office
Most Canadians like to talk about
the weather! If you're one of them, you'll want to visit the Weather Office.
This site from Environment Canada provides daily weather maps for North
America. You can find information for specific regions, such as the Appalachians.
You can also view radar and satellite images. The five-day forecast is
available for places across the country. The site is updated daily. This
is a good place to help you complete weather-related activities.

provides weather information in many categories, such as "most typical
Canadian cities" and "toughest weather cities." You can search for weather
winners in the Appalachian region by city or by weather event.
