The holiday season is about traditions, and with Christmas and the holiday season just around the corner it’s time once again to do my traditional look at Christmas weather across the Prairies — in particular, a look back to see what the warmest and coldest Christmases were, and to see if there have ever been

Last week’s forecast was a little bit of a bust. The forecasted storm system did form as expected, but by last Wednesday, the weather models had come to an agreement on a much more southerly path and that is what ended up happening. As a result, no significant snow fell across southern or central Manitoba

Forecast: Mild autumn weather to continue

Issued October 24, 2016 – Covering the period from October 26 to November 2, 2016

Another tough forecast period coming up — not because of any strong storm systems, but rather because we appear to be stuck with a weak steering flow, along with fairly weak weather systems. Add these together and they make for tough day-to-day forecasting. Last week’s weather was much the same, and while the overall forecast

Forecast: Chances of rain beyond the weekend

Issued October 17, 2016 – Covering the period from October 19 to October 26, 2016

By
Not that this summer’s weather was very predictable, but fall and spring tend to be notorious periods for accurate forecasting. During these periods, the atmosphere is changing due to the rapid shift in incoming solar radiation (that is, sunlight). We saw this over the last forecast period, as a western low developed as expected, but

Floods and farms fuel jump in methane emissions — researchers

Microbial sources of methane emissions are seen as the most likely source and are common to wetlands and farming

By ,
A sharp increase in methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in the Earth’s atmosphere since 2007 is the result of higher emissions from biological sources such as rice paddies, cattle and swamps rather than fossil fuels, researchers recently announced. Methane traps heat, contributing to global warming. In 2014 the growth rate of methane in the atmosphere

Once again, weather models did a good job predicting major weather makers over the last week, but as we have seen several times over the past months, the models struggled with the timing of these systems.

The strong storm system the weather models forecast last weekend to affect our region did materialize, but as usual with strong storms, it didn’t behave exactly as expected. Instead of coming in as one main system, it came through in waves of energy. It also took a more westerly and northerly track, which resulted in

Fall is usually a tough time of year to forecast as we begin our shift from summer to winter. This year looks like it might be tougher than most, since our summer weather pattern was pretty unpredictable. We saw a little of this last week. The storm system that was forecast to track by to
