Canada La Nina Winter 2024. After bringing a warmer, drier winter to much of canada, the el niño weather event that has gripped the pacific ocean and subsequently the world may at last be over. We experienced a strong el niño from the spring of 2023 through the first couple of months of 2024, a pattern that influenced a very mild winter across much of canada.
La niña winters tended to be banner years for snow across western canada, the pacific northwest, and the northern rockies. All indications point toward a weak la niña developing across the pacific ocean in the months ahead, forecasters announced in their latest update this week.
