Manitoba Agriculture Weather Program: Hourly Conditions from 100+ Stations

A web mapping application provides hourly weather updates from the Manitoba Agriculture Weather Program (MAWP). MAWP operates more than 100 weather stations reporting air temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, soil temperature, soil moisture, and barometric pressure. Data is provided by the Government of Manitoba and was last updated on 2026-04-22.

Use Cases

• Monitor crop irrigation needs based on soil moisture and precipitation data.
• Plan agricultural activities using hourly air temperature and wind condition updates.
• Analyze microclimate patterns across Manitoba based on data from the network of over 100 stations.
• Model soil temperature trends for planting or pest management decisions.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from a network of more than 100 weather stations.
• Reports multiple variables including soil temperature and moisture, which are relevant for agriculture.
• Updates are provided at frequent intervals (15-minute, hourly, and daily).

Limitations

• Data has undergone minimal quality control and is provided 'as is' with disclaimers about accuracy.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
