[OpenLayers-Users] Weather forecast layers in WMS for easy display with OpenLayers

[Alexandre Leroux]

Hi list,

The Meteorological Service of Canada is currently proceeding to public 
trials of a new service to offer the Canadian weather forecast layers in 
WMS. Anyone using OpenLayers can easily overlay these WMS layers on 
their web maps.

Some of those weather forecast layers cover the whole globe and other 
layers at higher spatial resolution cover North America. A current 
public example of the use of these global layers is found on 
OpenWeatherMap.org (e.g. such as the precipitation, clouds and weather 
radar layers).

I invite anyone from the list interested in getting access to these 
weather forecast WMS layers and participating to this public trial to 
contact me directly by email. Please shortly introduce your intended use 
of those layers. The official launch of these services is planned for 
later this year.

Regards,

Alex
