For an option, visit Environment Canada's "WeatherOffice.com" for Celsius temperatures.

I visited the European weather site and from there looked at North American
weather. For Canada you only get a Farenheit temperature map. In fact, it
is identical to the U.S. map. For Mexico, Central America, and Caribbean
area you don't get a full size temperature map, but the thumbnail looks like
the U.S. temperature map.
