Seasonal May makes way for another potentially warm summer in PG

An above-normal summer is on the horizon for the majority of BC including the Prince George-area according to Environment Canada.

Meteorologist, Bobby Sekohn told Vista Radio there are still some variables that need to be ironed out in order for that prediction to bear fruit.

“Now, how that shakes out will really have to follow on a week to week basis whether that is going to be extended heat periods or be just a little bit above normal. That part we don’t know.”

In May, the mean temperature was 9.8 degrees, a half a degree lower than the monthly high of 10.3.

PG tallied 46-millimetres of rain, while the normal mark is 45.

In addition, sunny skies and warmer temperatures will be the focus of the short-term weather forecast in the PG-area.

Daytime highs are expected to bounce between 19 and 26 degrees over the next week.

Sekohn added the warm spell won’t long any longer than roughly a week.

“It doesn’t last too, too long. As we get into next week we will see temperatures drop back down pretty close to normal. It is going to be an up and down period generally speaking with no long extended stretch of hot weather.”
