MarketsFarm — Colder-than-normal temperatures are in the long-range forecast across most of the Canadian Prairies, according to the latest long-range outlook from Environment Canada.
The latest seasonal forecast from the government agency, released Monday, calls for a 40-50 per cent chance of below-normal temperatures from March through May for most of the three Prairie provinces, with only a pocket of southwestern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta expected to see normal temperatures.
That same pocket is forecast to see below-normal precipitation during the same time frame, with the majority of the Prairies to see average moisture.
The Maritimes and Quebec are also forecast to see below-normal temperatures, with most of Ontario in the normal range.
