1 hour ago Ontario's remaining winter weather could be all over the place as La Niña arrives

Buckle up, because Ontario's weather is set to take a wild ride as La Niña makes its presence felt through the winter.According to a new report from The Weather Network, this year's winter is shaping up to be completely different from the mild conditions we saw last season, thanks to the arrival of a climate pattern called La Niña.The pattern occurs when water temperatures around the equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean come in around 0.5 degrees C colder than normal for a few months in a row, which can influence weather systems worldwide.The U.S. Climate Prediction Center (CPC) indicates a 60 per cent chance that a weak La Niña will persist throughout the rest of winter, although there is a chance that we'll revert back to more neutral conditions in time for spring.La Niña conditions are officially here—and they're likely to stick around for the rest of the winter. https://t.co/7WVUGOOA4A— The Weather Network (@weathernetwork) January 10, 202...
