Glacier FarmMedia MarketsFarm – Warmer than normal temperatures are to be expected across most of Canada over the next three months, according to the latest long-range seasonal forecast from Environment and Climate Change Canada as of April 30.
The government agency calls for a 60 to 100 per cent chance of above normal temperatures from May through June across the entire agricultural regions from British Columbia through to Newfoundland and Labrador. The largest likelihood is in the Atlantic provinces.
The weather models point to an increased chance of below normal precipitation in key crop growing regions of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Southern Ontario, Quebec and most of the Maritimes are forecast to receive normal moisture.
