Canadians can expect average temperatures this fall that will give way to a cold winter in central and eastern parts of the country, according to The Weather Network.
The network is predicting Western Canada, including B.C., Alberta, Yukon and the Northwest Territories, along with parts of Atlantic Canada will have slightly warmer-than-normal temperatures for fall because of warmer oceans and wetter conditions along coastal areas.
91裸聊视频淲e don91裸聊视频檛 think this fall has really wild departures from normal in store,91裸聊视频� said The Weather Network91裸聊视频檚 chief meteorologist Chris Scott.
Precipitation will also be right around the average in most parts of Canada.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not going to rain all the time, it just means that when it rains, it really, truly will pour,91裸聊视频� he said.
Near-normal fall temperatures are expected in the Prairies, Ontario and Quebec.
91裸聊视频淲e think this fall is going to be pretty much bang on normal for temperatures, maybe shading a bit cooler than normal towards the Hudson91裸聊视频檚 Bay lowlands, in northern Ontario, northern Manitoba and northwestern Quebec.91裸聊视频�
A milder winter is expected in B.C. and the western parts of the Prairies, he said, but it trends colder to the east all the way to Atlantic Canada.
Scott broke down the winter forecast for each region in Canada:
British Columbia
Scott said the network is forecasting slightly warmer than normal temperatures for fall. While fall will include stretches of dry weather, wet weather will overdeliver with above normal rainfall in coastal areas. Milder than normal temperatures are expected for the winter.
91裸聊视频淲hat is interesting is that the Northern Pacific, off the coast of B.C. and Alaska is very warm, it91裸聊视频檚 very toasty there, as is the Atlantic Ocean south of Atlantic Canada.91裸聊视频�
The Prairies
Near-normal temperatures are expected for fall and a milder-than-normal winter in westernmost parts of the region and colder temperatures are likely to the east.
Scott said it91裸聊视频檚 hard to say exactly what will happen across the Prairies region because there have been so many wild weather fluctuations.
It91裸聊视频檚 been a tough year for farmers with wet conditions around Edmonton and the north and dry weather through parts of the south-western grain belt, he said.
91裸聊视频淭he trend into fall is for near normal precipitation so hopefully we can hold that and not having anything that91裸聊视频檚 too wet so that agricultural interests can get the harvest in this fall.91裸聊视频�
Ontario and Quebec
The network is predicting near-normal temperatures for the fall with extended periods of both mild and cold weather. A colder than normal winter is expected for most of the region.
91裸聊视频淭his is not a winter that we get off the hook easily,91裸聊视频� said Scott.
The winter will have some similarities to some harsher winters and there could be a delayed start to consistent winter weather as was the case last year.
Atlantic Canada
Scott said above normal-temperatures are expected for southern areas with near-normal temperatures elsewhere. The fall will include dry periods and wetter-than-normal conditions due to occasional storms. Near normal temperatures are expected across the region this winter.
Warmer water on the east coast should dictate above normal temperatures on average for southern New Brunswick, P.E.I., Nova Scotia and most of Newfoundland.
91裸聊视频淎s you move farther north 91裸聊视频� northern New Brunswick, Baie de Chaleur and then through Labrador 91裸聊视频� we think it will be closer to normal just as we get away from that warmer water influence and precipitation we do expect to average close to or above normal.91裸聊视频�
Northern Canada
Milder temperatures are expected across western regions of the North with near-normal temperatures elsewhere. Most areas will see near-normal precipitation totals, Scott said, but above normal precipitation is anticipated for western parts of Yukon. A similar pattern is expected this winter.
91裸聊视频淭he main rationale there is because the waters are warmer, so where you get the winds coming off the water 91裸聊视频� because it91裸聊视频檚 warmer we expect overall the temperatures to be above normal in these regions,91裸聊视频� he said.
