The Story
The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s Canada 2026–27 Winter Forecast suggests British Columbia could see a wetter, snowier winter than usual, alongside temperature patterns that differ by region.
In the Almanac’s B.C. outlook, northern parts of the region are expected to run colder than normal, while farther south temperatures are expected to be above normal.
The forecast also points to precipitation being above normal, with above-normal snowfall.
According to the same B.C. section of the forecast, the coldest periods are expected during late December, late January and early February.
For the snowiest periods, the Almanac’s timing highlights late December and mid-January.
The evidence provided also notes that Environment and Climate Change Canada’s seasonal outlook indicates the winter may be relatively warm across Canada, which would make the prospect of snow less likely than in a colder season.
