Questions

About Guysborough County alerts

How do I get Guysborough County weather alerts on my iPhone?

Install Forecast Bar, add Guysborough County as a location, and turn on severe weather alerts. Every ECCC warning, watch and advisory for Guysborough County then arrives as a push notification at the moment of issue, with Critical Alerts available for the most dangerous warnings. Forecast Bar also runs on iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple TV.

Where do these alerts come from?

From Environment and Climate Change Canada's alert feed (weather.gc.ca). ECCC issues alerts by public forecast region; this page lists every product that names Guysborough County. Forecast Bar checks the feed continuously and this page refreshes within a few minutes of a change.

What is the difference between a watch, a warning and an advisory?

A warning means the hazard is occurring, imminent or very likely: act now. A watch means conditions are favourable for it to develop: prepare and stay informed. An advisory covers a hazard that is less serious than a warning but can still cause real inconvenience or danger if you are not ready for it.
