This is just one of Environment Canada's network of 31 sites, which are concentrated in the most populated parts of Canada, providing radar coverage to more than 95 per cent of Canadians. This is one of three located in Saskatchewan. The network’s primary purpose is the early detection of developing thunderstorms and high impact weather, as well the tracking of precipitation.
Environment Canada’s weather radars have a range of 250 km around each site. Current radar images are displayed on the Weatheroffice website and historical radar images are available at the National Climate Data and Information Archive.
The term RADAR, which has been in use since the 1940’s, is an acronym formed from the term Radio Detection and Ranging.
