MarketsFarm — Warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected across all of Canada for the next three months, with average precipitation in most of the agricultural areas of the Prairies.
That’s according to the latest long-range seasonal forecast from Environment Canada, released Friday.
The government department calls for a 50-70 per cent chance of above-normal temperatures from July through September through all the agricultural regions of Western Canada.
The rest of the country also has an increased chance of above-normal temperatures, with the highest probabilities in Ontario and Quebec, northern Manitoba and British Columbia’s Interior.
Precipitation is expected to be normal across most southern growing regions of Western Canada, with a drier bias in northern Saskatchewan through to northern Ontario.
The British Columbia coast, including Vancouver Island, is also forecast to see below-normal precipitation. Agricultural regions of Ontario and Quebec are expected to see normal precipitation.
