Portal talk:North American Weather

That's not North American weather, that's United States weather. Mexico and all of Latin America north of Panama, as well as Canada and Alaska, are all in North America. Call if for what it is. Grendelkhan 04:54, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * The North American map shows a number of cities in both Canada and Mexico, so it's not strictly showing the United States.


 * But rather than get bogged down arguing over the borders, I'm planning to add a weather report for the "Central America" region that will extend from mid-Mexico down to the upper edge of South America in a few days, so Central America will be well represented at that time.


 * As for northern Canada, there aren't that many reliable weather reporting stations in that area, due to its remoteness, beyond the ones which already appear on the World map. I didn't zoom out to show more of northern Canada in the North America map as it would have only showed empty space with the same cities that appear on the World map.


 * The edges of the maps are not defined using any strict set of borders, rather they're designed to try and fit the largest number of cities possible from the available set of weather reporting stations we have to work with.


 * Please be patient while I work on adding more regions, which will represent a much larger selection of cities overall.
