Canada's warmest winter on record is unlikely to make a repeat performance this year, The Weather Network's chief meteorologist says, as a new seasonal forecast suggests the season will try to 'salvage its reputation.
Canada's warmest winter on record is unlikely to make a repeat performance this year, The Weather Network's chief meteorologist says, as a new seasonal forecast suggests the season will try to"salvage its reputation."
But in Ontario and Quebec, Scott said there could be as much winter weather packed into the next three weeks as there was for a lot of last winter.Winter is then broadly expected to back off come January and February in Quebec and Ontario, with the forecast suggesting those provinces will be warmer than normal on the whole, with above average precipitation.
It's good sign for ski resorts across B.C. and into Alberta's foothills — including in Banff and Lake Louise, Scott said. It's important to keep in mind that climate change has shifted what is considered normal, Scott said. The forecasts of above- or below-normal temperatures and precipitation are based on average conditions over roughly the past 30 years.
Last year's record warm winter was also driven by El Niño, a natural recurring climate pattern tied to shifting warm water in the Pacific Ocean and the position of the Pacific jet stream.
