Welcome to Coastwatching!
At Coastwatching, we’re dedicated to studying the BC’s South Coast Weather (both Past and Present). From Victoria to the Lower Mainland, Whistler to the East Island, Tofino and back home again, we love to experience and learn about the weather in our little corner of the world.
From our ”Head Office” in Victoria, we provide Twice Weekly Forecasts with a focus on explaining weather patterns and their effects on both our Work and Play Lives. Our Twitter Updates aim to fill in some of the holes during forecast periods, as well as keep you notified of impending doom or glory.
Some of our valued viewers include contractors, realtors, boaters, bikers, skiers, sailors, gardeners, golfers and the list goes on… you’re welcome to use this free service and we encourage you to share your homegrown knowledge, thoughts and weather experiences through our facebook and twitter pages.
So again, Welcome to Coastwatching and as always…
May the Forecast be with You!
Forecasts
Generalized South Coast forecasts (text and video) are updated twice a week: Sunday AM for the coming Workweek, Thursday AM for the coming Weekend. We also provide activity planners and Twitter feeds here.
Hindsights
Hindsight is all about looking back over the past; the past month, the past season to see what the major trends have been and how they stack up to years gone by. This is where we keep the records.
Terms & Conditions
Terms and Conditions gives you a key to deciphering all the short hand I use for different geographical and weather features, as well as further information on different types of weather phenomena.
About Coastwatching
Coastwatching was established at the turn of the century when meteorologist Tom Rahme decided to create a place where he could keep track of South Coast weather and share this with his with close friends.
