Disclaimer
Data from FWC stations are downloaded, processed and reported hourly using a customized set of processing routines. The real-time data provided on this site are for informational purposes only.
The monitoring stations generate a considerable amount of data as temperature is measured at 5-minute intervals. For efficiency, we are providing summaries and subsets of the most recently collected data from each station.
These data should be considered preliminary and are subject to further refinement. More information on data processing is available by request. Finalized datasets are also available by request. Please direct any questions or requests to FWRI at this email address.
