Global and regional temperature anomalies

Globally, 2015 was the warmest year, 
at 0.9 C above the 20th-century average

By
In my previous article, I finished by saying I would hopefully be able to continue our look back at 2015 by exploring some of the top weather stories from our part of the world. Between then and now, both NOAA and NASA released their 2015 global temperature data and I figured we should spend some

Agro-climate data is a ‘mismatch’ with overall trends

Farmers need improved data on agro-climate to make sense of climate change, says U of M soil scientist

By
Numbers don’t lie but they’re presently a real puzzle when it comes to making sense of climate change and what’s happening on the farm, says a University of Manitoba professor. Despite warming trends of recent years and forecasts of a continued increase, analysis of agro-climate data shows the last spring frosts are only marginally earlier,

Forecast: Arctic high pressure continues to dominate

Forecast issued Jan. 18, 2016, covering the period from Jan. 20, 2016 to Jan. 27, 2016

By
The coldest air of the winter moved in as expected last weekend, with most locations either seeing air temperatures in the -30 to -33 C range or feeling wind chills in the -40 C or colder range. Hopefully this was nature’s biggest push of cold air for the winter, but as usual, only time will

Forecast: With high pressure comes mild temperatures

Issued: Monday, Nov. 30, 2015 – Covering: Dec. 2 – Dec. 9, 2015

By
Plenty of sunshine along with fairly light snow cover allowed temperatures to moderate a little quicker than anticipated last weekend, with highs close to freezing in most areas and a few snow-free regions making it above freezing. For this forecast period it looks like the mild weather will continue. In fact, it looks like it

Weather forecast: Looks like a nice start to winter

Issued: Monday, Nov. 23, 2015 – Covering: Nov. 25 – Dec. 2, 2015

By
Last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what the weather models predicted. Winter arrived across southern and central Manitoba late last week, with the season’s first significant snowfall hitting central and eastern regions, while the southwest received just a dusting. Temperatures then fell to around average or even a little colder than average over
Fall field work was still underway in many areas of the province under record-high temperatures last Sunday, including along Mountain Road just east of Erickson. Projections from the new Winnipeg-based Prairie Climate Centre suggest this could be a more common mid-November sight in future.

Atlas showing future climate change under development

An online resource of maps and data will help planners adapt to climate change

By
Growing conditions on the Can­adian Prairies will be very different if global warming trends continue — but how different? A new series of online maps offers a glimpse of the length of season, temperature changes and rainfall farmers in the not-so-distant future could face under various scenarios. The maps are part of a ‘climate atlas’
Look for a warmer winter and a warmer future, says David Phillips, Environment Canada’s senior climatologist.

Warmer winter, warmer future forecast for Manitoba

While climate change threatens food production in many places, it will make 
Manitoba farmers even more productive, Phillips predicts

By
Manitobans can expect a warmer-than-normal winter due to El Niño, and a warmer-than-normal future thanks to climate change, says David Phillips, Environment Canada’s senior climatologist. In fact this El Niño, which refers to warm water that develops in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific, is a “super” one, Phillips told the Harvest Gala, a fundraising

Will average weather conditions continue into fall?

Environment Canada sees above-average temperatures this month across the south

Another month has come and gone, so it’s time to do our monthly look back, then look ahead to see what might be in store for us in September and rest of the fall season. It’s also the end of summer (June through August) so we’ll also take a look back at the summer of

Plants may run out of time to grow under climate change

Canada is among the few regions that could see increased production under global warming

By
A key potential ‘benefit’ of global warming — namely, that plants at northern latitudes will thrive in a warmer world — is challenged by a new study released by University of Hawaii’s scientists. The prevailing assumption ignores the fact that plants in the North will remain limited by solar radiation, curbing positive effects of warming

Blast off to better soil moisture measures

A NASA satellite to measure water in Earth’s soil has gone into orbit

By
An unmanned Delta 2 rocket lifted off from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California Jan. 31 carrying a NASA satellite to measure moisture in the top layer of the Earth’s soil, data to be used in weather forecasting and tracking of global climate change. Soil moisture is a variable that binds together all of
