Weather

You are correct if you thought April 2019 was rather gloomy.  April 2019 was cooler and wetter than the 30-year average (1981-2010). A number of stations were in the top 4 for wettest April and it was the first time in many years that we did not reach 20˚C in the month of April.

March 2019 was cooler and drier than the 30-year average (1981-2010). 

See all the details in the attached final report for March and the outlook for spring from Jill Maepea, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist, Environment and Climate Change Canada

Winter 2018-2019 was cooler and wetter than climate normals.  Is spring 2019 predicted to have the same conditions?

February 2019 was colder than normal across the province.  However, precipitation was near normal but there was a good mix of sites that were above normal and sites that were below normal that resulted in the province being near normal.

Just to make you feel better about the wind and cold, you might enjoy a couple of videos about weather observers atop Mount Washington.  Have fun!

January had above normal precipitation, but temperatures were near climate normals. Due the fact that January was wet, snow pack (especially for the northern part of the province) continued to grow…
