The Agrometeorology Group, School of Environmental Sciences, University of Guelph in cooperation with Environment Canada, maintains an automatic weather station at the Ontario Crops Research Centre - Elora, located a few kilometres south of Elora, Ontario.
This station collects hourly climatic data including air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction and speed, solar radiation, longwave radiation, precipitation, snow on ground, snowfall, amount of sunshine, and water table height. This data set includes climatic data collected from January 1 to December 31, 2019, and is presented as annual files of hourly data.
In July 2019, the weather station was refurbished and therefore a new set of meteorological parameters are being collected starting in August 2019. The data are presented as two separate files. 1) January 1st, 2019 to July 15th, 2019 ending at 1900 hours where data were collected using the old meteorological station, and, 2) from August 20th, 2019 starting at 1600 hours to December 31st, 2019 where data were collected using the refurbished meteorological station.
