A small tool shows today's sunrise, sunset and daylight length for Hay River, and how fast the days are growing or shrinking — close to twenty hours of light near the summer solstice, about five in the depth of winter. Worked out from the town's latitude, so there's nothing to fetch and nothing to go stale.

A new tool shows the wind chill in Hay River right now and over the next three days, and the hours when exposed skin is at risk — worked out from the live temperature and wind on Environment Canada's published wind-chill scale, with its frostbite times. It's plain about being a model reading, not an official warning, and links Environment Canada for that. Built now so it's ready for winter; in summer it simply says there's no cold risk.

The Hay River numbers worth keeping handy — power, water, the hospital, the RCMP, the 24-hour crisis line, and where the official flood and fire alerts come from. Every number checked this week.

Today's air quality in plain words, focused on the summer question here: how bad is the wildfire smoke? Paired with Environment Canada's official health index for the NWT.

The Hay River's live level and flow, straight from the Water Survey of Canada gauge above town, with where today sits in its recent range. It's honest that the spring danger is ice jams at the river mouth, not just high water — so the official flood call stays with the GNWT and NWT Alert.
