Radio Amateurs of Canada is pleased to announce that we have now partnered with the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre Team to provide CANWARN Training this spring.

CANWARN (CANadian Weather Amateur Radio Network) is a network of volunteer Amateur Radio operators who observe and report both winter and summer severe weather conditions.

Date: Wednesday, May 26

Time: 7 pm EDT

Description: This will be a one-time session for this season, offered through the Zoom online meeting platform.

Topics covered in the training include the basics of thunderstorm formation, the types of damage severe thunderstorms can produce and what to look for in the sky. Winter severe weather is touched on as well.

The training also provides ways that storm reports can be provided to the OSPC and a number of safety tips to keep storm spotters safe.
