While residents in the East can expect a relatively cooler summer, chief meteorologist Chris Scott said those out West will see warmer-than-normal temperatures, with near normal precipitation in British Columbia and Alberta
A summer forecast warns western wildfires will likely continue to be “a major concern," with higher-than-normal temperatures expected when the second fire season ramps up in July and peaks in August.
"It's not the worst possible scenario when we look at this forecast. But it's also not wonderful news." El Niño occurs when surface waters in parts of the Pacific Ocean warm and push east, toward the west coast of the Americas, causing changes in the jet stream across the Pacific. "It drives where the jet stream is, and that in turn drives where the warm and cool air is, where our storms form."
“And that's because this El Nino is coming on stronger than initially expected and that in turn causes these shifts in the global weather patterns."
