Long range weather forecast Canada style

The first one, 30-day temperature forecasts, takes you to a map showing which regions of the country can expect to find warmer than average, cooler than normal or neutral temperatures. This is probably what you want to know the most.

The upcoming year

They recently added three month probabilistic forecast maps. The maps show you each area's chances of receiving higher or lower than normal temperature and precipitation amounts.

The other maps in this section show you the historical validity of these forecasts. Bear in mind it is currently impossible to determine daily highs and lows more than a week or two in advance, and some folks say it never will be possible. This is because of complications such as the butterfly effect.

Another section on their site gives climate normals. This web page is one weather almanac Canada uses for climate information. One very important indicator of long term weather prediction in some regions is the presence of El Nino or La Nina. The bottom of the page gives you opportunities to explore the effects of these meteorological and oceanographic trends.

Here is a couple of other things to try: First, go visit dryday.com and enter your location for a 30-day weather (probability of precipitation) forecast, and secondly, navigate back from Long Range Weather Forecast Canada to the Weather Canada page. Thirdly, give us your thoughts below.
