Rainfall over India is likely to remain subdued for over a week as the annual monsoon’s progress has stalled after its earliest onset in 16 years, though it is likely to pick up again from June 11, two senior weather bureau officials said on Monday.
India’s monsoon stalls after early start
Monsoon to pick up again around June 11
Drought developing in northern Saskatchewan agricultural region
Almost no rain has fallen since April 1 in Nipawin and Prince Albert
In the 30 days of April, Nipawin received one millimetre of precipitation. In the first 27 days of May, the Environment Canada weather station in Nipawin recorded 1.5 mm of rain and snow.
Prairie forecast: Mostly warm and dry weather expected
Forecast issued May 28, covering May 28 to June 4, 2025
We start off with high pressure dominating most of the Prairies. A large surface high is sitting over the north-central U.S. This is beginning to tap into more heat and moisture, which will allow for warmer daytime highs and nighttime lows as dewpoints creep up.
Prairie forecast: Cool and damp, then sunny and warm
Forecast issued May 21, covering May 21 to 28, 2025
For this forecast period, it seems set to dry out and warm up. I suppose that's good for the areas that recently received significant rainfall and not so good for those regions dealing with fires.
Prairie forecast: Cool long weekend expected for Saskatchewan and Manitoba
Forecast issued May 14, covering May 14 to 21, 2025
Across the eastern Prairies, all eyes are on the breakdown of the western trough and the resulting ejection of the final area of low pressure. The weather models are still trying to get a handle on this feature.
Neither rain, snow, sleet or hail…
It can be tough to tell the various precipitation types from each other
Reading Time: 5 minutes The Prairies see all types of precipitation throughout spring including rain, hail, sleet and even snow.
More stable ENSO neutral weather conditions expected for summer
More stable summer weather is expected to be favoured the northern hemisphere thanks to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) neutral conditions, the United States’ Climate Prediction Center said on Thursday.
Prairie forecast: Hot east, cool west
Forecast issued May 7, covering May 7 to 14, 2025
We saw a strong ridge of high pressure build in last week, which brought daytime highs into the low thirties across parts of the eastern Prairies. Once the ridge collapsed, cooler air moved back in. Well, it looks like we can expect another cycle of building and collapsing ridges. Then, starting on the weekend, the weather pattern should become more energetic thanks to a strong trough of low pressure forecasted to develop off the West Coast.
A dry spring may slide into a dry summer on the Prairies
Long range forecasts in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta all expect lack of rain for summer 2025
Reading Time: 4 minutes The rain tap might slow to a trickle on the Canadian Prairies this summer. Long range forecasts in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta all expect little precipitation in coming months.
Seasonal outlook points to hot Canadian spring/summer
Warmer than normal temperatures are to be expected across most of Canada over the next three months, according to the latest long-range seasonal forecast from Environment and Climate Change Canada as of April 30.
