 Weather Doctor's Weather People and History: Canada's Weather Trains
In 1876, Canada began issuing official storm warnings and general weather forecasts, initially relaying them by telegraph from the Toronto, Ontario forecast office to various eastern Canadian centres.
By 1879, daily "probabilities," as forecasts were called in those days, were being telegraphed to 125 locations from Ontario to Prince Edward Island for inclusion in daily newspapers and postings on telegraph office, post office, or community bulletin boards.
In 1884, the Canada Meteorological Service devised an ingenious system to distribute forecasts to farming communities and farmsteads located too far from population centres to see the postings or quickly receive daily newspapers.
