The forecast through July indicates that exceptional water deficits in northern Quebec will shrink though vast areas will persist. Moderate surpluses are forecast in the Gatineau River Watershed north of Ottawa. Deficits will increase in Southern Ontario but a pocket of moderate surplus will persist west of Toronto. Surpluses will increase in southeastern British Columbia and will be exceptional.
Canada: Intense water deficits to persist in northern QC
Through January 2020 nearly normal conditions are forecast for most major metropolitan areas with moderate surpluses around Montreal and deficits near Regina, Saskatchewan. Exceptional deficits will persist in a vast portion of central and northern Quebec and large blocks in northern Manitoba and Alberta. Surpluses are expected in the southern Columbia Mountains of British Columbia.
Canada: Water surplus to persist from Lake Huron to Toronto
The forecast through September indicates that moderate water surpluses will persist from Lake Huron to Toronto but surpluses in southern Quebec, including the Gatineau River Watershed and Montreal, will nearly disappear. Moderate to extreme deficits will persist in southern Manitoba. Exceptional deficits are expected in southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and surpluses in the southern Columbia Mountains.
Canada: Water surpluses will shrink in S. Quebec
The forecast through August 2019 indicates that water surpluses will shrink in southern Quebec. Some surpluses are forecast near Toronto and Montreal, deficits from Regina to Winnipeg, and intense deficits in southern Vancouver Island. Exceptional deficits will persist along Ontario’s eastern border and in large pockets of Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Surpluses will increase in Newfoundland and Labrador and persist in a large block spanning the northern Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
Canada: Water surpluses to increase from Toronto to Lake Huron
The forecast through July indicates that conditions from the westernmost point of the Ottawa River stretching east to the Gulf of St. Lawrence will transition out of exceptional water surplus to milder anomalies, while conditions around Montreal and near Ottawa transition to moderate surplus, and surpluses from Toronto to Lake Huron increase and intensify. Deficits will cover much of the nation, with intense deficits on Vancouver Island and surpluses in southeastern British Columbia.
