Forecast: Mild, quiet weather moving back in

Covering the period from January 22 to January 29

By Daniel Bezte January 23, 2020

The first half of my last forecast unfolded close to what was expected, with a few minor exceptions. The cold arctic air did move in and luckily it was only a brief encounter as the centre of the cold air remained well to our west. With the centre of the cold air staying farther west

(The CanSIPS) precipitation forecast calls for near-average amounts with maybe a slight lean toward above average in March.

Does this winter have a cold and snowy second act?

Daniel Bezte’s gut goes up against the almanacs and the weather models

OK, I heard you loud and clear: Instead of continuing our look at the top weather stories of 2019, you want to know what the latest and greatest weather outlooks are for the next couple of months. I must admit, I usually start off each month with the monthly look back and the view ahead,

Forecast: Cold with only slight chances of snow

Covering the period from January 15 to January 22

By Daniel Bezte January 16, 2020

Well, last week’s forecast played out not too badly. We saw an Alberta clipper come through late last Wednesday and into Thursday and it ended up dropping a bit more snow than originally expected. While the cold air moved in over the weekend, as forecast, it ended up being pretty much right at the temperatures

While September did bring some warmth, it also brought record amounts of rain.

Looking back at 2019’s weather stories

From a Manitoba perspective, inverted rainfall patterns loomed largest in 2019

By Daniel Bezte January 13, 2020

We usually begin the year with a look back at some of the big stories from the previous year and my articles usually follow this trend, so I asked myself: should I change it up this year? The answer: no. I think these looks back are kind of fun and they allow us to remember

Like it or not, climate change will change your farm, say two experts

The growing season is already longer and extremes more common, say climatologist and crop specialist

By Jennifer Blair January 10, 2020

Canada’s best-known climatologist always knows when he’s lost a crowd of producers he’s presenting to. It’s usually right around the time he starts talking about climate change. But he gets it. “Farmers have been beat up a lot — they’ve been accused of causing climate change,” said David Phillips, Environment and Climate Change Canada’s senior

Forecast: Colder and more active weather pattern developing

Covering the period from January 8 to January 15

It has been awhile since I last wrote a forecast. Back in the middle of December the medium- to long-range weather models were calling for milder weather during the second half of December and it turned out they were right. So now the big question is, what are these weather models calling for over the

Year in review: How did 2019’s weather measure up?

The short answer is that the year just past was cooler and drier than average

By Daniel Bezte December 31, 2019

As we pass the end of another calendar year, it is time to take a look back at the past year’s weather to see how everything added up. Before I zoom into Manitoba, let’s take a quick look at the global picture. November’s global temperature numbers have just been released and three of the five

Manitoba farmers challenged by 2019 crop

The worst part was the ‘harvest from hell’, which for some still isn’t over

By Allan Dawson December 24, 2019

Too dry, too wet and then it snowed. Lots. That sums up Manitoba’s 2019 growing season, culminating with the “harvest from hell,” which for some farmers won’t end until spring. “I have often said it’s not a good sign when you’re harvesting and they’re playing Christmas carols on the radio,” Minto farmer and Keystone Agricultural

Last time we took a look at Christmas weather records from across the Prairies, but for this issue I thought we would zoom in on Manitoba and expand our look to New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I first looked at this topic back in 2009, and then again a few years ago, so

As is fairly typical when we are in a pattern dominated by arctic high pressure, the timing of the system for last week’s forecast was off by a little bit. We definitely saw high pressure and cold air build in during the first half of last week’s forecast, but the Pacific low came in a
