Ratings and Reviews
Doesn’t seem to work for any Canadian locations
3 stars because it seems like a neat App, One downfall was I tried a ton of US locations and they all worked, Couldn’t find any Canadian locations
Great info
As everyone else has pointed out, this doesn’t work in Canada. It’s a US Government app, and likely pulls its location info from a US government source, hence the lack of Canadian data. Makes sense, we don’t pay their taxes to have them do their weather for us. That said, it still provides some helpful information for heat casualties and treatment, and if you insist on using an the app instead of just looking up an old fashioned chart, you could always game the app by using a weather app to get the “feels like” and then finding somewhere in the States with a similar one.
Does not work in Canada!
It should be a simple fix to make this work in Canada. It’s a shame that we cannot use the tool here!
