***NEW*** Climate Data is supported by the Canadian Centre for Climate Services (CCCS) of Environment and Climate Change Canada as part of its efforts to provide Canadians with easy access to climate related data and to help increase their resilience to climate change. Climate Data will soon release future return period projections, a metric for quantifying the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. This data informs climate change adaptation planning by quantifying rare but potentially high-impact extreme events. The CCCS invites you to complete a short survey to help ensure this dataset meets your needs. Your feedback will directly influence how the CCCS presents and prioritizes data development on Climatedata.ca. The deadline to complete the survey is July 7, 2025, which can be accessed here.
