RASC National Clear Sky Chart
This RASC National Clear Sky Chart is built using ASP.NET. It shows the amount of cloud cover at 11:00 pm local time for each of the 29 RASC centres located across Canada. The color squares range from clear skies (dark blue) to completely overcast (white). Data is retrieved from 29 different web sites to create this composite view each time you click the icon below. This is good demonstration of the power of the web.
