Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)

The Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) produces Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) as one of the key inputs to the Meteorological Service of Canada's overall public weather and environmental prediction and warning process. The raw data from NWP is made available to outside users who may use it for their own purposes. As NWP data is an early input into the overall MSC public forecast process, it may differ from the official forecast.
