King City weather radar station

King City weather radar station is a facility in Ontario that collects data about weather patterns and air conditions across the region. The installation features a radar tower and various measuring instruments that continuously gather meteorological information.

The station opened in 1984 as Canada's first facility using Doppler radar technology for weather observation. This technology enabled more precise measurements and transformed how meteorological data was collected across the country.

The radar station contributes to environmental education by providing data for meteorological research programs and atmospheric science studies in Canadian universities.

Visitors can view the facility from the outside, but access to the grounds is limited since it remains an active meteorological research site. The best viewing points nearby offer a look at the radar tower and structure from a safe distance.

The facility uses special radar technology to track bird migration patterns while simultaneously capturing weather data. This dual purpose makes the site a valuable resource for bird observation and ecological studies in the region.
