On occasion during the month of November, it felt like springtime temperatures in Prince George.
According to Environment Canada, the northern capital had its 12th warmest November on record with an average daytime high of 0.7 degrees, considerably better than the average mark of -2.5.
Climatologist, Geoff Coulson told MyPGNow.com the end of the month was pretty balmy.
“Temperatures were actually well-above normal the last few days, finishing off the month. On November 30th, the daytime high was 8.8 degrees, not a record for that date in history but certainly well above the normal for this time of year, which is minus three.”
He added PG only saw 40.9 millimetres of precipitation during the month, well below the long-term average of 55.3.
This equated to the 28th-driest November on record.
However, Coulson stated a return to more seasonal conditions is right around the corner.
“Heading into the weekend, we’ll see daytime highs of around minus four and lows of around minus twelve, which is right around where we should be for this time of year. Going forward, it looks like those seasonal temperatures are likely to stay with us for a good part of the month.”
