Spring may have officially started already, but a new report says Canadians will continue to feel winter weather, as the seasonal outlook for April issued by The Weather Network shows Canadians are still experiencing cooler than usual temperatures.

The network’s report stated that April is a variable month, sometimes giving Canadians a taste of summer, and other times the weather is cold, noting that at the end of March, a storm caused snow to fall in parts of Nova Scotia.

The report also said that “spring began somewhat slowly across most of Canada.”

Temperatures:

At the beginning of April, Canadians can expect cooler temperatures from British Columbia to northern Ontario and Quebec. Meanwhile, in the southern half of Ontario and Quebec, warm air coming from the United States will move north early.

The report also said: “Across all of Atlantic Canada, we expect fluctuating temperatures to balance out and return to near normal levels.”

As the second week of the month approaches, cold air will reach southern Ontario and Quebec and the East Coast provinces, while Alberta and the west coast of British Columbia, along with parts of Saskatchewan, will see rising temperatures during this time.

Temperatures cooler than usual are expected to remain in northern Ontario, Manitoba, and the prairies during the latter half of April.

More snow:

The report said when temperatures drop, northern Ontario and Quebec can expect more late-winter storms in early April.

The Weather Network added that temperature variations will contribute to an active storm track in both Ontario and Quebec.

Rainfall will also be near normal in British Columbia and parts of the prairies, while some northern areas of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are expected to receive less than usual rainfall.
