GEM / GDPS
The Canadian global forecast. Native guidance and GEM-MOS have separate station error records.
What to inspect
Follow successive runs for the same target date. Compare error, bias and interval coverage on shared stations and dates. A sharper forecast is useful only when its uncertainty remains reliable.
See recap for available station/day coverage
Updates and availability
See issued guidance for available cycles; collection and upstream release times differ
No issue timestamp is exposed by this directory for this product. The linked guidance page carries its own coverage and run information.
Station and neighborhood context
Use the station page to compare diurnal evolution, nearby observations and weather regimes. The linked page contains all available sources; availability varies by station.
How to read the record
Raw models, corrected station products and downscaled grids forecast different things. Market recap shows its decision cutoff, settlement basis and coverage. Missing forecasts are unavailable, never zero. Inclusion in this directory or recap does not imply inclusion in a trading blend.

GEM-MOS
Station-corrected GEM guidance. Its available training era and model version matter when interpreting regional or seasonal skill.
Weather Trader / ECCCIssue record: 2026-10-17T21:00:43ZGEM-DS 2.5 km
Canadian GDPS (GEM global) guidance corrected against URMA on a 2.5 km grid with a station layer, the same method as ECMWF-DS and GFS-DS. Three-hourly to 240 hours from the 00 and 12 UTC runs. Native-window verification is distinct from full-day market verification.

The GEM downscaled map feed on the 2.5 km URMA grid, three-hourly to 240 hours. Its gridded products and history are available in the explorer; no full-day station-market score is inferred from map colors.
