Backward Spring: Farmers’ Almanac Releases 2022 Long Range Spring Weather Forecast

With the Spring season set to officially start on March 20, the Farmer’s Almanac has released the 2022 long-range spring weather forecast.

You may have to wait to start the gardening season, as the organization which uses a unique formula to predict long-range weather says the country will be slow to warm up and will see a “backward spring” as northern parts of the country will experience warmer temperatures than the southern regions.

Canada, overall, can expect close to normal springtime precipitation and near-normal temperatures.

Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a major late-season winter storm for the final week of April over the Rockies and Prairies.

According to the Farmers’ Almanac, British Columbia can expect a pleasant spring with average precipitation, and the Prairies will see near-normal temperatures with average precipitation and below-average rainfall for Quebec and the Maritimes.

As for Ontario, those living around the Great Lakes can see expect wetter-than-normal spring.

Those living in central and eastern parts of the nation should expect “violent thunderstorms and possibly even a twister or two” around June solstice as per the periodical’s long-range prediction.

Closing out their forecast, Farmers’ Almanac says the country will make an “astronomical transition to summer” with the “heat will turn on big time across much of the country as June winds down to a close.”
