Weather station

Created and operated by our department! UW weather station has provided our community with local weather data since Feb 28th, 1998. Local media often highlights the station and the data the it collects. Private citizens, schools, industry and others have used and appreciate the data. UW courses also rely on the station for teaching and research.

Every year the weather station co-ordinator (Frank Seglenieks) organizes a popular contest where almost 1000 people try to guess the first time the temperature breaks 20 degrees C. The 2023 contest is up and running and you can enter your guess here!


Stay tuned for an announcement for the official renaming of the weather station in honour of the late CEE professor Eric D. Soulis. The renaming ceremony is being targeted for late April.
