Canada Braces for a Strong, Cold Winter Start in December
Canada is gearing up for a strong and frigid start to winter as December approaches. As cold air from the Arctic spreads southward, weather patterns indicate a prolonged cold snap across the nation. This pattern is expected to dominate for much of the month, offering a true Canadian winter experience.
Winter Weather Expectations for December
The transition into December marks a significant shift from the mild temperatures seen during the autumn months. Meteorologists predict that the cold spell which began at the end of November will persist throughout December. This frigid weather is particularly expected across central and eastern Canada, including:
- Saskatchewan
- Manitoba
- Ontario
- Quebec
- The Maritime provinces
Cold temperatures are likely to be reinforced periodically. Winter enthusiasts may find these conditions ideal as snowfall increases in regions across Canada.
Regional Variances
The weather forecast reveals some regional differences. While central and eastern Canada braces for colder-than-normal temperatures, the West Coast may experience a different scenario.
- British Columbia is expected to see close to seasonal weather.
- Above-normal temperatures are favored in northern B.C. extending into the Yukon.
Despite the variations, overall predictions indicate that Canada will experience a strong winter start, as La Niña and the polar vortex influence weather patterns. Canadians are advised to prepare for a winter characterized by significant cold and potential snowfall.
