This sevice is provided by the Willow Bunch Telegraph Office for historical reasons. Back in the early days of the Willow Bunch Telegraph Office one of the duties of the telegraph operator was to collect and report local weather conditions. At that time weather instruments located at the telegraph office were used to gather local weather conditions. The data reported on this page was collected from the CWB Willow Bunch weather station located on the roof of the Willow Bunch Town & RM office, which is a half block from the Willow Bunch Telegraph Office.

1. Note that the current conditions reported by the The Weather Network for Willow Bunch are actually those for Rockglen. They are retrieved from an Environment Canada weather station on the hills a few miles to the south west of Rockglen, so they cannot and will not be as accurate as those reported here. However, the weather forecast information provided by The Weather Network for Willow Bunch may be more useful.

2. The weather forecasts provided by Environment Canada for Coronach, Rockglen, and Assiniboia are all usually the same, so it's reasonable to use any one of them for Willow Bunch. Note that the forecast supplied by the The Weather Network can and does often differ from that provided by Environment Canada. It appears the Environment Canada forecast is often more accurate then that from The Weather Network, but that's not based on any real study. The one thing The Weather Network has that Environment Canada does not is its 14 day forecast. It's handy when trying to plan activities 6 to 14 days away, but that long range forecast can only be used as a very rough guide, since the weather folks often can't predict what going to happen one or two days away.

3. Visit WeatherFarm on the CWB website to learn more about the CWB weather stations and get more details about using the WeatherFarm website. That website is powered by Weatherbug Professional, and it always it's users to view current readings from a large region all at once (eg entire lower part of Saskatchewan).
