Spring Outlook 2016
Posted by on Sunday, February 21, 2016
Another long dreary Winter will come to an end on Sunday March 20th at 6:29 a.m. (EDT).
This Winter was not all the bad across Canada, El Niño kept the weather in check across Canada with many areas experiencing above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation.
The first day of Spring, also referred to as The Vernal Equinox means night and day are nearly exactly the same length – 12 hours – all over the world. This is the reason it's called an “equinox”, derived from Latin, meaning "equal night". However, in reality equinoxes don't have exactly 12 hours of daylight.
Across Canada this Spring temperatures are set to be above normal for most areas. Precipitation will be near normal for the east and spots of above normal for the western provinces and territories.
