Winter Forecast 2022-23
After a warm start to Fall, temperatures have since fallen and most, if not all, regions of Canada have seen snow by now.
With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and those short days, winter is surely on the way. The winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, officially arrives on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 4:48 pm EST in the Northern Hemisphere.
With that in mind, here is the winter forecast.
Temperature
Across the country this winter, there will be an east/west divide. Temperatures are expected to be above average for the eastern half of Canada from northwestern Ontario to Newfoundland. For the west and most of the north we will see normal, or below normal, temperatures.
