Warmer-than-normal temperatures prevailed across most of Canada in August. This is highlighted by the various shades of orange in the temperature anomaly map below. In fact, for many communities in western Canada and Atlantic Canada, August 2022 was one of the hottest Augusts on record. This includes much of BC’s south coast, Edmonton, Calgary, St. John’s, Gander and St. John’s. While daylight hours are rapidly decreasing each day and “normal” temperatures are dropping rapidly through the month of September, the overall pattern of warmer than normal temperatures across most of Canada will continue to prevail through September. Here is our forecast for September 2022. We expect all of Canada to be warmer than normal or near normal for the month. Note that we do not have “colder than normal” temperatures for anywhere in Canada on the forecast map. This means there will be more opportunities to enjoy the warm summer weather (especially during the first half of the month) before the colder weather takes over. Of course, there will be glimpses of cooler weather to remind us that we are heading into autumn, but periods of warmer than normal weather will offset the cooler weather for most of the country. However, for areas of northern Canada, northern Manitoba, northern Ontario and northwestern Quebec, the temperature swings should offset each other and lead to near-normal temperatures.
BEWARE: Labor Day weekend looks hot for some, unsettled for others
Early September is also expected to be relatively dry across most of Canada with generally drier than normal conditions and this pattern is expected to continue well into the month. MUST SEE: Don’t let your lawn care routine fall behind this season However, as we head into the second half of September, we will be keeping a close eye on the tropics. While hurricane season has historically been quiet thus far, September is the peak of hurricane season. Once the tropics become more active, the expected pattern and much warmer than normal ocean water temperatures in the eastern Atlantic give us a higher than typical risk for some tropical impacts in the region. We all know that as we get deeper into the fall season, the colder weather will eventually win out. However, is the warmer-than-normal start to the season a sign of what’s to come for the rest of the fall, or should we prepare for a sharp transition to a cooler pattern? To answer that question, check back on Tuesday, September 13, when we release our fall forecasts for the rest of September, October and November.
