Over the last month or so I have crisscrossed this great country of ours. I started in early July heading east into the Muskoka region of Ontario to compete in an Ironman 70.3 triathlon. After spending a couple of weeks there, I returned home and did some quick gardening before heading west to Canmore, Alta.

Will this heat continue through the summer?

Mean monthly temperatures for June 2018 were about what we’d normally see in July

By
After a warm to hot May across the Prairies, the question on most weather minds was whether we would pay the price for the nice May or the heat would continue. As it turned out, the heat continued throughout much of June, with the warmest weather recorded right here in our part of the Prairies.

After an extreme warm period, it looks like we are back into more winter-like conditions for this forecast period. This continues the pattern we have seen since early December, of alternating periods of warm and cold weather. This time, though, it does not look like we will see any extremely cold weather move in.

By
Late last week and into the weekend we experienced a classic example of a small change in a weather system that ended up having a big impact on the weather. A large area of low pressure moved up and passed through our region late last week as forecast, but the system ended up being a

Sometimes you just have to love the way the weather works out. Looking at last week’s forecast, depending on where you lived, it was either way off or perfect. For those of you who thought it was perfect, the predicted forecast wasn’t the reason why. When it comes to weather forecasting, sometimes you just can’t

Arctic high pressure dominates once again

Issued: Monday, Mar. 16, 2015 – Covering: Mar. 18 – Mar. 25, 2015

By
Given all the trouble the weather models had with last week’s forecast, they ended up hitting it pretty much right on the mark. An intense low moved in from the Pacific and tracked across the southern Arctic last weekend. That, combined with a ridge of high pressure, brought the warmest weather of the season to

The cold, dry weather pattern in which we’ve been stuck for pretty much all of February looks as if it will continue into the foreseeable future. This means we will continue to see temperatures at the bottom end of the usual range for this time of the year, along with little significant snow accumulation. As

Fairly quiet pattern developing

By
Our last forecast started off right on track, but a stronger-than-expected storm system brought widespread measurable snow to southern and central Manitoba last Friday and Saturday and altered the general flow enough to change the rest of the forecast. Cold weather moved in behind this storm system, as high pressure dropped southeastward out of the
