Forecast Blend
Jasper Journeys weather average.
For now, this uses live open weather API data and available ensemble means. The long-term plan is to add licensed/official APIs where possible, compare them, and calculate our own Jasper-specific average forecast.

This page is ready for the first version. The next step is a backend service that pulls weather from official/licensed APIs, stores snapshots, compares models, and publishes a local Jasper forecast score.

AI can summarize weather risks for hikes, roads, aurora, wildlife tours, patios, rafting and winter activities, then flag issues for review.
Important note about using Weather Network and AccuWeather
We can link to those pages now. For automatic live data reuse, we should use official APIs or licensed access instead of scraping. AccuWeather offers developer APIs, and Canadian official weather data can be accessed through ECCC/MSC GeoMet. The Weather Network data should only be reused if permission or an approved data arrangement is available.
