Wild swings make spring a difficult season to forecast in Canada, even more so this year amid a transition from a weak La Nina to perhaps the first sign of a new El Nino.
Canada's spring forecast predicts a volatile season with above-normal precipitation and below-normal temperatures initially. Western Canada is expected to avoid a repeat of explosive fire seasons, while southern Ontario and Quebec anticipate an active weather pattern with potential for late-season snow. A major flood season is not expected, and temperatures are likely to rise above seasonal averages by early June, potentially leading to an early start to severe weather.
