General information

Since 2007, meteoblue has been collecting model meteorological data in its archive. In 2014, we began comparing weather models with historical data going back to 1985, creating a global archive of 30 years of hourly weather data. Weather charts are the first simulated weather data sets available on the Internet. Our weather data history includes data from all parts of the world covering any time period, regardless of the availability of weather stations.

The data is obtained from our global weather model NEMS over a diameter of approximately 30 km. Consequently, they cannot reproduce minor local weather events such as heat domes, cold blasts, thunderstorms and tornadoes. For areas and applications that require a high level of precision (such as energy release, insurance, etc.) we offer models with high resolution with hourly weather data.

Real estate prices are not only related to the popularity of Vancouver. The main rise in prices is due to wealthy foreign buyers (mostly from Hong Kong) who are buying up property en masse without the government cracking down. Two years ago, a 15% tax was introduced for foreign buyers, but this did little to stop the rush of buyers. Also, a year ago they introduced a tax on empty houses of 1% and as a result it turned out that 30% of apartments in the center of Vancouver are empty.

Home prices in Vancouver are the most expensive in North America, at the moment it is 1.2 million. For last year house prices fell by about 10%. But townhouses and especially apartments have jumped up sharply. For example, for apartments over the past year, in some areas of Vancouver, the price has risen by more than 50%
