What You'll Hear When You Call
After you set your location, Canada WeatherLine offers a short menu so you can pick what you want to hear. The local weather forecast is always there. So is a 7-day Sun and Moon forecast, plus a Sky and Space submenu with the northern lights, upcoming meteor showers and eclipses, naked-eye comets, Space Station pass-overs from your area, and rocket launches.
Call 1 (866) 844-0945 toll-free from any phone in Canada to try it.
Local Weather Forecast
All forecasts come straight from Environment Canada weather stations and are read out in a clear, natural-sounding voice. You can choose how much detail you want.
Short-term forecast (next 24 hours)
Current conditions plus an hour-by-hour outlook for the next day. Includes temperature, wind, sky conditions, and precipitation.
7-day extended forecast
A full week ahead. Day-by-day highs, lows, sky conditions, and precipitation. Late-night callers automatically skip the previous evening so you don't hear stale 'Tonight' text.
7-Day Sun and Moon Forecast
From the forecast menu, press 3 to hear a 7-day Sun and Moon outlook for your area. For each day you'll hear:
- Sunrise and sunset times in your local time zone
- Moonrise and moonset times
- Moon phase and percent illumination
- The date of the next full moon, with its traditional name (Harvest, Hunter, Wolf, and so on)
Useful for gardeners and farmers planning around frost and daylight, fishers working tide and moonlight windows, hunters watching for moonrise, and anyone who likes to know when it gets dark.
Sky and Space Events
From the forecast menu, press 4 to open the Sky and Space submenu. Four options inside:
Northern Lights
Aurora activity outlook based on NOAA space weather data: the Kp index, solar wind speed, and what to expect over the next few nights. Most useful for callers in northern parts of the country, where the aurora is more often visible.
Sky Events
Upcoming meteor showers, eclipses, planetary conjunctions, and naked-eye comets visible from Canada in the next two weeks. Each event includes the dates, the part of the sky to look in, and any practical viewing notes.
Space Station Pass-overs
Visible International Space Station passes from your location over the next several days. You'll hear the time, peak elevation, direction, and how long the pass lasts. Calculated from your weather station's coordinates.
Rocket Launches
Upcoming rocket launches on the global schedule for the next two weeks. Includes the rocket, the mission, and the launch site.
