By
Here I am in beautiful Riding Mountain National Park in western Manitoba and after three days of camping I have yet to smack a single mosquito; how nice is that?! I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sky conditions will work out for the eclipse on Aug. 21, more for my son than me.

Forecast: Warm and dry to start; cooler next week?

Issued August 21, 2017: Covering the period from August 23 to August 30

By
Last week’s forecast — at least the first part — wasn’t too bad, but things kind of fell apart on Sunday and into the first part of this week. I had pointed out that confidence in that part of the forecast was low. The disappointing part for some people was the weak system that came

Winter wheat harvest shows effect of winter thaw

A warm spell this past winter has left an unfortunate legacy

By
Manitoba’s winter wheat yields won’t be breaking any records this year. Early-season concerns over winterkill are now being realized at the grain bin as harvest progresses. Much of the east, central Manitoba and Interlake reported poor or patchy regrowth in early 2017, something experts blamed on a mid-winter melt. “In eastern Manitoba, there was a

Forecast: Warm weather to build back in

Issued August 14, 2017: Covering the period from August 16 to August 23

By
Even though I had to create the forecast early last week I was still able to pull off a reasonably accurate one. I would love to take full credit for that, but sometimes you just get lucky. After all, I am just reading weather models and trying to pick which models are doing the best

A detailed look at Prairie heat and rainfall

I figured we should take a little time to look at what has been happening weather-wise across the agricultural Prairies to see just what’s been going on.

The rain dilemma for U.S. corn, soybeans

Localized storms are making widely used weather models less meaningful to the market


By
Rain has been falling across the U.S. Corn and Soybean Belt this month but crop ratings have been low or declining, a sign that some farmers may be getting too much moisture while others have parched fields.

Forecast: Slow warming trend expected

Issued August 4, 2017: Covering the period from August 9 to August 18

By
Last week’s forecast quickly fell apart, at least from the point of view of temperature, as the upper low that brought some much-needed rain to western regions also altered the upper-level flow. The upper low combined with the building ridge of high pressure over extreme western North America shifted our flow from west-northwesterly to more

Opinion: Facing up to the truth about climate change

If we want consumers to accept the judgment of science, we need to return the favour

By
Those pants look terrible on you. Perhaps you’ve experienced that awkward moment when you try to stop a friend from committing a fashion faux pas. If so, you may have agonized how to word your concerns to avoid offence, while still getting your message across. It’s a potentially volatile moment that perfectly captures how I
