December 2024 Forecasts And Discussions

[Hawk]

To be fair...I don't think we can compare the climate to pre-2010 anymore. New standard is maybe 2-3 snowfalls per winter and 1-2 arctic blasts. West Coast Ridging has been dominant and we've seen a significant decrease in Maritime Polar airmasses.

It goes in cycles obviously..highs and lows. It sure would be nice to hit some freak colder wave for the next 20+ years

Only 29 to 44 days away..plus we gotta break T3s January curse of 31 years too

That looks like a pattern that could at least get us close to breaking the curse, if it has staying power. Still a long ways to go of course.

There have been many LR carrots so far, mostly failures

If a December 2016 pattern were to settle in for January, would that be enough to break the curse?

Nope. It's currently 2c @ your holiday pond in south Sardis.

Fine. Let's settle on January 1969 then. Deal?

Assuming December doesn't deliver, I'll be very surprised if we don't see an arctic blast of some degree at some point in January.

Most definitely! Traditionally, the hallmark of a cold month in Vancouver is an average temp below 0c, but in the current climate, below 1c is good enough in my books.

Since January 1993, YVR has recorded four months with an average temp below 1c. December 2008, December 2016, February 2019, and December 2021.

"The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is currently in the neutral range. While not meeting typical La Niña thresholds, some oceanic indices as well as cloud and wind patterns in the Pacific have at times shown weak La Niña characteristics in recent months."

Was clear here but the fog moved in about 30 minutes ago. Temp steady at 1c.
