Unseasonably cold weather should average out next week
The Battlefords have been experiencing well below average temperatures since the start of the month and while Environment Canada expects average temperatures the rest of the season, average for the area is still incredibly cold and residents need to be prepared.
According to John Paul Cragg, warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada, the average temperature in November for the Battlefords is -6 C, but so far this month the average has been closer to -11 C.
He doesn’t expect the unseasonably low temperatures to continue though.
“The below average temperatures should continue through Friday and Saturday,” Cragg said. “After that though we will be looking at more average temperatures for the rest of the month and that trend should continue through January.”
