The 2009 Canadian Farmers’ Almanac contains 16 months of weather predictions for Canada– from September 2008 through December 31, 2009. Get your copy today or get instant access to the entire edition online.
As homeowners across the country pray for a mild winter to offset rising energy costs, the world-famous Canadian Farmers’ Almanac is warning us to prepare for the worst. “Numb’s the word!” is how the 192-year-old publication is predicting the upcoming winter season.
For 2008–2009, the Canadian Farmers’ Almanac is forecasting a “numbing” winter, during which temperatures will average below normal for much of the country.
For most of Alberta , Saskatchewan, Manitoba and westernmost Ontario, temperatures will average much below seasonal norms. The coldest temperatures can be expected during January and February. In some cases, minus 40 degrees Celsius, or even minus 45 degrees Celsius, may not be out of the question.
It will also be unusually cold during the month of January in Quebec and in the Maritimes. Only British Columbia will see near-normal temperatures through the winter.
Precipitation-wise, the region around the Great Lakes could receive above-normal amounts, while the rest of the nation will have averages close to normal. An unusually wet and/or snowy February forQuebec and the Maritimes is also in the forecast.
In contrast, in British Columbia, where wet weather is usual during the winter, February could actually turn out to be a bit drier than normal.
What about spring and summer?
