Linnaea
Community Weather Station
Since 1993 David Buckner, a Linnaea Farm resident Steward, has monitored the island's weather station for the federal government.
He gathers temperature, precipitation, and general weather observations twice daily 365 days a year and submits monthly reports to Environment Canada. His labour is entirely voluntary. The statistics from such community weather stations provide information on weather patterns across the country and are useful in research of such problems as ozone depletion and global warming.
Interactive weather charts
You can now create your own charts using the two decades of daily weather records from this station.
