Good evening to you Dominic, below is the link to the website that contains the data I require.
It is in an HTML table, so I guess that I am screen scraping? http://www.climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=CA&StationID=43763&Year=2008&Month=4&Day=17 I have the same page for 5 other locations. There are problems with using a webservice etc, as this is for an agricultural business and the locations that I require information for smaller locations. I did not find a webservice that even carried Canadian data :).
