Transparency
Every number shown in OpenAir Atlantic comes from an official public feed, an open-data source, or an approved first-party sensor integration. We do not fabricate or estimate environmental readings. Most feeds are public Canadian sources, with Cameron Heights using an owner-authorized Tempest station for hyperlocal conditions.

Environmental data is inherently uncertain. Weather station readings represent a single point in space and time — conditions at a beach may differ from the nearest station a few kilometres away. AI interpretations are generated automatically and may not account for every local nuance.
