Service Notice - September 2024: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For Fall 2024, changes are expected to include... 1) location adjustments to the new Coastal Flooding Warning Program that has been implemented back in Spring 2024, 2) Marine Warning Program and Hurricane Warning Program (for tropical cyclone information statements only) will start to use water zone splits, 3) new parameters in CAP will be created to represent the weather event's start time and the weather event's end time, 4) ECCC's initiative to upgrade the presentation of alerts into a risk-colour tiered structure is in progress. Existing elements’ values will be updated and new parameters will be added in a future release, and 5) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service - septembre 2024: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour l’automne 2024, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) des ajustements aux zones du nouveau programme d’avertissement d’inondations côtières qui a été mis en œuvre au printemps 2024, 2) le programme d’avertissement marine et le programme d’avertissement des ouragans (seulement pour le bulletin d'information sur les cyclones tropicaux) commenceront à utiliser des divisions de zones maritimes, 3) de nouveaux paramètres seront créés dans le PAC pour représenter l'heure de début et l'heure de fin de l'événement météorologique, 4) l'initiative d'ECCC visant à améliorer la présentation des alertes en les classant selon une structure de niveaux de risque par couleur est en cours.

Very windy conditions are expected When: Today. Where: North Vancouver Island Wind: Easterly winds 90 km/h gusting to 110 km/h. Remarks: A strong low pressure system, located approximately 500 km west of Vancouver Island, will move northward today. Strong easterly winds eased overnight but will redevelop over exposed coastal sections this morning. Winds will gradually weaken tonight as the low pressure system weakens and drifts further offshore. ### Gusty winds can damage soft shelters, tents and awnings at outdoor events. High winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break. High winds may result in power outages and fallen tree branches. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.

Avoid wooded areas to prevent injury from falling trees or branches. Campers should move to sturdy shelters.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
