Most of Canada is predicted to have a warmer-than-normal fall: The Weather Network
In areas affected by wildfires, such as B.C. and Alberta, more precipitation is expected, which is a positive sign for fire conditions.
According to The Weather Network, most Canadians can expect a warm fall with above-normal temperatures in many regions.
Chief meteorologist Chris Scott notes that the country will see a slow transition into autumn, with temperatures remaining above average for the early and middle parts of the season.
Ontario and Quebec, in particular, are expected to experience more warm and dry days than usual, although some thunderstorms and northwest winds may occur.
The Prairies, including Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, will also enjoy warmth, with above-normal temperatures, although the region may see varying levels of rainfall.
Eastern British Columbia will likely experience more typical temperatures, but the south coast and southern interior will have more precipitation than usual. Atlantic Canada is also expected to have above-normal temperatures and near- or above-normal rainfall.
Despite the generally warm forecast, Scott emphasizes that extreme weather can still develop quickly, especially with warm waters in the Atlantic that could fuel storms. While the hurricane season is past its peak, Scott warns Canadians to stay vigilant.
Northern Canada will see warmer-than-usual temperatures, with typical conditions in Yukon and the western Northwest Territories.
In areas affected by wildfires, such as B.C. and Alberta, more precipitation is expected, which is a positive sign for fire conditions.
Though it's too early to predict the winter transition, Scott suggests Canadians can enjoy the warm weather while it lasts, with more "ups than downs" in the fall weather ahead.
