About This Station
The station is powered by a Lacross WS2310 automated weather station. The station is sited at 049:10:24N and 0122:51:48W at an elevation of 79M. This site and its data is collected using Weather Display Software. Data is collected every second, with portions of the web pages being updated every 3 seconds. The remaining data for this site is updated every 5 minutes. The station is comprised of an anemometer (wind speed and direction) mounted above the roof of the house, a rain gauge mounted on the top rail of the fence, and a thermo-hydro sensor (temperature, humidity and pressure) situated in optimal positions for highest accuracy possible.
The station was installed and began operation around June 20, 2006 and has been collecting weather data ever since. Any weather records that are displayed on this site are based on data recorded by this station, from the install date to present.
The web camera records images 24 hours per day, although night time images are typically very black. The "Last Hour" video is compiled from these images at approximately 3 minutes after the hour. The "Today" video also uses these recorded images and compiles at approximately 20 minutes after the hour. "Yesterday" is copied from the final "Today" video at 2300hrs (11:00pm) local time each day.
About This City
Surrey, one of the fastest growing major cities in Canada, is strategically located at the crossroads of the Pacific Rim, Greater Vancouver and the United States. Easy and convenient access to Vancouver international Airport, two international border crossings into the U.S., an excellent transportation network including six major highways, rail and a deep sea port provide ideal opportunity for transportation of goods and services worldwide - a network essential to the demands of a vibrant City and its growing business sector. In September of 1993, Surrey officially became a City and over the past few years has undergone tremendous change and growth and the overall quality of life has risen to new and impressive heights. Our City Council is committed to providing its residents, through initiatives such as Safe and Clean City, Active City, Adopt-A-Street and Block Watch, with a great community in which to live, work and play.
Incorporated in 1879, Surrey has a rich history of diverse ethnic backgrounds that have come together to make Surrey one of British Columbia's most unique communities. Comprised of forests of fir, cedar and hemlock, and basically untouched, the tone of Surrey's future as the City of Parks was set. Logging began, settlement took place, and Surrey started to take shape. As you drive throughout the City, take notice of the heritage markers bearing the names of the early settlers to the area such as Johnston Road, Sullivan Station and Hjorth Road to name a few.

Transportation overall has played a major role in the development of Surrey. The first regular ferry service across the Fraser River was started in 1882 on the steam ferry "K de K" with the point of departure at Brownsville. The Canadian National Railway, Burlington Northern Railway, and Southern Rail of BC rail systems are still active and stretch across Surrey to eastern provinces and southward into the United States. Surrey Fraser Docks, service many deep sea vessels, transporting cargo from around the world, and is considered BC's largest and most active terminal. Public transport connects Surrey's centres to each other as well as to other Lower Mainland cities and municipalities. Skytrain has four stations within Surrey, and reaches Vancouver within 35 minutes.
Also known as the City of Parks, Surrey has over 6,000 acres of passive and active parks, 15 golf courses and driving ranges, including the Northview Golf & Country Club, home to the former Air Canada Championship.
As fast as Surrey is growing, it has also maintained its connection to its roots with approximately 35% of the land designated as agricultural and still being actively farmed today. Add to that the 5,400 acres of park and green space and you've got a city that's livable and healthy. Surrey offers its residents many recreational facilities and amenities centres. There are two major rivers that run through Surrey, the Nickomekl and Serpentine, each carving out integral lines throughout the city's part, present and its future.
