Christmas weather outlook is fair for the travelling season
With the holiday season now upon us, many people will be hitting the road to visit family and friends throughout the next couple weeks.
Our temperatures over the past few weeks have been quite mild, but Environment Canada is calling for a bit of a cool down coming into Christmas Eve and the following week looking into the New Year. The seasonal temperatures at this point have been a bit colder than usual, but that trend is poised to get back on track by the beginning of next week.
The roller coaster of temperatures heading into the Christmas season looks initially looks like it will be in travellers favour for the holiday season. Terri Lang from Environment Canada said although the extended forecast may not be the most accurate, its a good sign for people hitting the roads.
“We’re getting into a colder pattern towards Christmas Day,” she said. “Still doesn’t look like any weather makers bringing in any snow into the extended forecast, but we all know that can change.”
