The forecast through December indicates that water deficits will shrink, most notably in southern regions of the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia, though vast areas of deficit will persist nationwide.

The forecast through August indicates widespread water deficits in the east, including many areas of exceptional deficit, as surpluses retreat. In the Prairie Provinces, deficits in the south will shrink and downgrade. Surpluses will persist in much of the Fraser River watershed in British Columbia.
