Australia’s weather bureau casts doubt on prospects for La Nina
Prairie forecast: Active pattern continues with mostly-dry west, wet start for east
The active pattern that we saw last week looks to continue into this forecast period which means more chances for rain, possibly some wet snow and a continuation of the temperature rollercoaster ride.
Prairie forecast: A temperature rollercoaster and the possibility of snow
Prairie forecast covering October 8 to 15, 2025. The Prairies may be in for a prolonged battle between warm and cold air before winter sets in. This could bring lots of rain or snow.
Prairie forecast: Transition from warm to cool brings chances for rain
The big question leading into this forecast period is — just how long will the summery temperatures will continue? After all we are now into October.
Prairie forecast: Looks like summer weather
Highlights: We appear to be in a fairly predictable weather pattern as the overall weather picture has been pretty good. We saw upper-level ridging last week bring average to above average temperatures across the Prairies. The forecasted area of low pressure over the eastern Prairies materialized as forecasted. As often typical with upper-level lows, the […] Read more
Seasons change, fluids retain
Fit to Farm: Unlike blood, your lymphatic fluids could use your help to overcome gravity
Most of us experience a bit of extra fluid retention occasionally, as “puffiness” in our lower bodies, when weather changes. Gravity naturally keeps lymph fluid down, but gentle movement can help keep it flowing properly.
Prairie forecast: Warm, dry west; warm, unsettled east
Highlights Summary Last week’s forecast did well considering the unusually blocking pattern that developed. An area of low pressure did develop as expected over the west-central U.S. It tried to push northwards and eastwards but was kept mostly in place by a strong ridge of high pressure over the central and eastern Prairies. The models […] Read more
Prairie forecast: Summer holds on
Once again, the weather models did a good job with the last forecast. It correctly predicted the cool weather pattern over the eastern Prairies, which did bring some light scattered frosts late last week. It also was correct about the return of warm temperatures to start this week. Meanwhile, the western Prairies saw plenty of […] Read more
Prairie forecast: Cool east, warm west
Forecast issued September 3, covering Sept. 3 to 10, 2025
We start this period with a large upper low over northern Ontario, an area of Arctic high pressure building southwards over Manitoba and strong but narrow upper ridge of high pressure over B.C. This particular setup is going to bring cool temperatures over the eastern Prairies for the next several days. Western regions will stay on the mild side.
How non-stop rain affects your farm equipment
Be careful what you wish for in those dry years
I tend to find if a producer has dealt with more drought, they’d rather have a flood, and vice versa — but how you adjust your equipment to deal with the conditions is in your hands.
