Chers usagers des données ouvertes du SMC,
A compter du 6 octobre 2026, Environnement et changement Climatique Canada apportera des modifications importantes au produit XML de
prévisions météorologiques officielles par ville afin de l'harmoniser avec les normes de dénomination et de géoréférencement de Ressources naturelles Canada (RNCan). Cette mise à jour permettra d’améliorer la cohérence entre l’application
MétéoCan, le site web meteo.gc.ca et les données
citypage_weather disponibles sur nos plateformes de données ouvertes du SMC, tout en corrigeant des
problèmes d’alerte précédemment identifiées.
Voici la liste des
principaux changements à venir :
-
Mise à jour des coordonnées géographiques (latitude et longitude) pour la majorité des sites; certains ajustements seront mineurs, tandis que d'autres seront plus importants.
-
Retrait de certains sites (codes XML) et ajout d'emplacements de remplacement, comme indiqué dans les tableaux ci-dessous.
-
Déplacement de certains sites vers des emplacements à proximité, généralement situés à moins de 5 km de leur emplacement actuel.
-
Harmonisation des noms d'emplacement avec la base de données de RNCan.
Voici la liste des sites qui seront retirés et les emplacements de remplacements suggérés :
|
Sites retirés (dès le 6 octobre 2026) |
Sites de remplacement suggérés (disponibles le 6th octobre
2026) |

Pour les sites qui ne figurent pas dans les tableaux ci-dessus, les codes XML demeureront inchangés. Cependant, certains noms pourraient être mis à jour afin de respecter les normes de RNCan,
et les nouvelles coordonnées pourraient entraîner une modification des stations d'observation associées.
Veuillez noter que la
liste complète des sites ainsi actualisés, sera disponible prochainement. La
documentation sera également mise à jour en conséquence.
Nous sommes conscients du court préavis que cela représente pour vos applications et nous nous tenons à votre disposition pour toute question ou supplément d’information.
Merci de votre compréhension.
Cordialement.

=======================
Dear MSC open data users,
Effective October 6, 2026, Environment and Climate Change Canada will update the
City Page XML product to align with Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan) Canadian Geographical Names Database. These changes will improve consistency between
WeatherCAN, the web site weather.gc.ca and our MSC open data platforms, while also resolving previously
identified alerting issues.
Here is the list of the main changes to come:
- Updated latitude and longitude coordinates for most locations, with changes ranging from minor adjustments to significant relocations.
- Retirement of select XML location codes and introduction of replacement locations, as listed below.
- Relocation of certain XML codes to nearby locations, typically within 5 km of their current coordinates.
- Standardization of location name spellings to align with the NRCan database.
Here is list of sites that will be removed and the suggested replacement locations:
|
