The Kootenays should again see a warmer-than-typical fall.
Environment Canada meteorologist Matt Loney said the forecast for September shows a probability of higher-than-normal temperatures for most of southern B.C.
“There was also the suggestion of a slightly higher likelihood for above-normal precipitation for southern portions of B.C., which include the Kootenays. But overall, it looks like a warmer and drier trend for the fall season,” he said.
Loney could not comment on what current weather systems are signalling for the winter months, noting that Environment Canada’s winter forecasts are not usually issued until December.
However, long-range predictions from the Old Farmer’s Almanac suggest southern B.C. will see mild conditions and above-normal precipitation levels in the winter months.
It also predicts below-normal snowfall through much of the season, with the snowiest periods forecast for late November and early to mid-December.
Late November, early December and early February are expected to be the coldest periods.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac long-range outlooks are created using a blend of solar science, climatology and meteorology.
