Warmer Winter for Canada


2015-2016 Canada Winter Forecast: El Nino to Promote One of Warmest Winters on Record

Canada is going to see the warmest winter on record this upcoming season due to a strong El Nino. The average temperature can get up to 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit above the typical temperatures for winter in Canada this year. A drier and milder weather is also predicted for the Prairie region this winter as the Polar jet stream gets “displaced farther to the north. This pattern will greatly limit the amount and duration of Arctic air masses that normally impact the region.” Due to this increase in temperature, there is an increased probability for ice storms.
