The warm weather is nice, but with all the wildfires currently burning in B.C. winter can’t come soon enough.
The Old Farmer's Almanac has released the long-term forecast across Canada and if you aren't a fan of the cold or the snow, you'll be a happy camper.
For the Southern B.C. region, which pretty much includes the entire bottom half of the province, it’ll be a slightly warmer than normal winter.
There will also be a below-normal amount of precipitation and snowfall throughout the winter months.
The coldest periods of the winter will be early and late December, early and late January and mid-February.
That cold weather in early and late December is also expected to be the snowiest parts of the winter as well.
Looking even further ahead, April and May of 2018 are expected to bring above average temperatures with near to, or below, normal precipitation.
Then, getting even further ahead of ourselves, next summer will be slightly cooler and drier than normal, with the hottest periods coming in early to mid June, mid to late July and early August.
