US EditionWinter will get off to an abrupt start, Weather Network says
The Weather Network warns of colder-than-normal temperatures and above-average snowfall this winter due to a disrupted polar vortex and a second weak La Niña, affecting most of Canada.
- The Weather Network's forecast predicts an early, cold December with Arctic blasts and near- or colder-than-normal temperatures across Canada, according to meteorologist Doug Gillham.
- A disrupted polar vortex and weak La Niña, as Doug Gillham states, are expected to bring colder, stormier conditions across parts of Canada, with regional variability and ongoing uncertainty.
- In regional detail, the forecast shows eastern British Columbia, the southern Rockies and Kootenays cooling with more snowfall, Alberta colder, and Manitoba and Saskatchewan seeing the strongest cold signals and higher snowfall near Calgary.
- Forecasters warn more winter weather through the holidays may disrupt travel and lake-effect snowstorms could impact ski resorts in the Rockies, southern Ontario and southern Quebec, while a cooler spring may reduce wildfire risk in the Prairies.
- Despite long-term warming, climate change has increased average winter temperatures about 3.7 degrees since the mid-20th century baseline, but forecasters note uncertainty if December's cold will spread beyond Western Canada.
