Farmers' Almanac has released its 2025-26 winter outlook for the whole country.
Airdronians who enjoy the summertime weather won't like this prediction, as the Almanac predicts a very cold, above-average snowfall for the Airdrie area.
The Almanac makes these predictions based on a formula they have created that factors in everything from sunspots to lunar cycles.
"Arctic air is expected to take a firm hold over the Prairie Provinces—Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba—as well as northern Quebec and Labrador for much of this winter."
"If snow is your thing, you’ll find plenty of it this year. According to the Almanac’s long-range outlook, Eastern Newfoundland, Labrador, and Quebec are in for a lot of snow, particularly in late January and February. Southern and eastern Ontario will be hit with frequent snowstorms and icy, lake-effect squalls, while the Prairies brace for whiteouts driven by Alberta Clippers. Interior BC’s higher elevations can expect heavy snows whenever Pacific storms roll through."
The Almanac also predicts that Alberta will experience several blizzards this winter.
"Canadians should prepare to stay bundled up and weather-aware as the country faces a true classic winter."
"According to our Extended Fall Forecast, rain will be a recurring theme for Canada," shared the almanac. "Meanwhile, higher elevations in Quebec, British Columbia, and the Prairies may see wet snow as early as October, with more widespread snowfall expected across Ontario, the Prairies, and Atlantic Canada by November."
Fall officially begins on Monday, September 22, at 12:19 p.m.
