The McMaster Centre Climate Centre operates a network of five weather stations to support teaching, research and community outreach activities. The stations are located on the McMaster campus and at local high schools in Hamilton, Ontario. An interactive website provides real-time information and access to archived data from the McMaster station. The centre makes the data available to researchers, teachers, and students to support experiential learning, classroom instruction, exercises, assignments, and lab projects.
To access archived weather data, please contact the McMaster Centre for Climate Change coordinator.
Graduate students and faculty deliver free talks at local secondary schools throughout the year. If interested in having a climate science talk with your students, please contact the McMaster Centre for Climate Change coordinator at climate@mcmaster.ca.
Climate change is among the most complex issues of our time.
