Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceKiilinik High School is a high school in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, part of Nunavut Department of Education Schools. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.
Closure decisions for Kiilinik High School are almost always made at the district level. If Nunavut Department of Education Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Nunavut Department of Education Schools forecast).
High schools start earliest, so they feel a storm before the rest of the district does — the first buses often roll while roads are still being treated. That earlier start time is one reason a district watching a morning storm may call the day off entirely rather than run a delay.
Nunavut averages about 150 cm of snow per year. Nunavut schools close for extreme cold and blizzard conditions. With winter temperatures regularly below -30°C, closures are driven by wind chill and visibility rather than snowfall totals.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Nunavut Department of Education Schools before acting on it.
