Winter in Canada will Regroup and Return for January
Canadian winter arrived this year full of vigour and energy-constantly moving and oblivious to any one place in particular.
Are we in for a long season? Our holiday season is going to be hot in a hurry. Cold-weather lovers need not worry if you fall into that category. Many parts of the country are likely to start the new year in colder weather.
Winter has Arrived in Fits and Starts
In Western Canada, cold, snowy weather began to prevail in late November and spread east through early December.
We should see more widespread white Christmas than last year due to the epic lake-effect snows that came with this migration.
Nevertheless, winter is about to take a seat as we conclude 2024. In the final days leading up to Christmas, there will be a shift to a more moderate climate from west to east.
Therefore, most of Canada will experience the last week of December as if it were November.
During the final week of 2024, temperatures are expected to be 10 to 15 degrees higher than normal.

Cold Season is Just Beginning
Even though the weather temporarily warmed up, winter is far from over. The first week of January is expected to bring about a major pattern, with winter once again storming the field.
While the pattern will take several days to establish, it is likely to be more persistent than the December pattern.
The Eastern Half of Canada and the United States will see a significant trough build by Jan. 5.
Throughout the central Prairies and the Maritimes, temperatures are expected to be colder than normal.
Extreme weather begets extreme weather, and above-seasonal temperatures are predicted for B.C. throughout the year.
In the coming days and weeks, he should keep up with his new pattern at least through Jan. 20.

Western Canada is expected to experience a shift from below-seasonal air in late January.
Western Canada is likely to experience colder-than-normal temperatures during late January and early February due to this pattern shift.
Eastern Canada is likely to experience widespread above-seasonal temperatures.
Despite the warming air spreading into Eastern Canada, winter is not over yet.
There will continue to be periods of colder weather in the east from time to time, but with the changeable pattern, conditions will alternate between milder and colder.
The heart of winter can still see extremely high-impact, messy storms, however, if temperatures are above-seasonal.
