The first half of last week’s forecast was pretty much spot on, as the forecasted trough of low pressure moved through our region last weekend bringing with it a mix of sun, clouds, warm temperatures and a few showers and thundershowers. For the first part of this forecast period high pressure looks to dominate, bringing

Difficult questions

The short-term questions arising from what is shaping up to be another billion-dollar-plus flood for the province are clear, although they may not be easily answered. How do you care for livestock that has no pasture and for which there is vastly reduced prospects for winter feed? Or how to get people back into their

CO2 levels highest in over three million years

Temperatures may keep rising for decades after this level is hopefully stabilized

Atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) levels on top of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa hit a record high of 401 parts per million earlier this month, and as we are still a month or so away from peak CO2 levels, this record will likely be broken. Just what does this mean? Let’s start off be looking at the

The average temperature of Earth maintained its warming trend in 2013, despite seasonal and regional variations that included a shrinking ice cap in the Arctic and a massively growing one in the Southern Hemisphere, U.S. scientists said Jan. 21.

Temperatures on a roller-coaster

Weather forecast for week of Nov. 25, 2013

The weather looks to be settling into a bit more of a predictable pattern. Last week’s forecast was pretty good, with most systems moving and behaving as forecasted by the weather models.

As we’ve been learning over the years, certain weather-related questions sound simple enough, but when you actually start to look at the question, it becomes tougher to figure out. Take trying to figure out when winter actually begins: the tough part is how to define just what constitutes the start of winter. Should it be

Expect plenty of Arctic air

Weather forecast for week of Nov. 21

With most regions now having at least a light covering of snow, it’s definitely starting to look like winter. Combine the snow cover with a couple of shots of arctic air and this forecast period is going to start feeling like winter too! The area of low pressure expected to help bring mild weather to

No significant storms in sight

Weather forecast for week of Nov. 11, 2013

Last week’s forecast pretty much fell apart after the weekend, as a very strong area of arctic high pressure dropped southeastward, bringing the coldest air of the season to all areas.
