Winter in Alberta can bring some serious bouts of cold and snowy conditions and an extended outlook from Farmers’ Almanac Canada is hinting at one timeframe being especially harsh.
The longtime stated that this winter La Niña is expected to develop and hang on through the season, and by blending the effects of La Niña into its proprietary formula, the winter of 2024-25 should see below-normal temperatures for about two-thirds of the nation, from east of the Rockies to Ontario.
How stormy and cold is Alberta forecast to be this winter?
Winter temperatures are forecast to be coldest from the Prairies into the Great Lakes region. The coldest outbreak of the season will occur during the final week of January into the beginning of February, when “frigid Arctic air brings a sharp plunge in temperatures, especially across the Prairies.” Bundle up, Alberta!
