Canada Cities Break Tradition: Unusual Warmth Leaves November Snowless Amid El Niño| Oneindia

last year

Edmonton is experiencing an unusual November with no snow, a rarity for the city. The last snowless November at the Edmonton International Airport weather station was in 1928. Despite historical near misses, this year marks the first time in the station's history that no snow has been recorded in November. The anomaly is attributed to the current El Niño weather pattern, which brings warmer and drier conditions. The forecast suggests a warmer and drier winter for Edmonton.

00:04 For the residents of Regina and Edmonton,

00:06 two of the main cities in Canada, these scenes are unusual.

00:11 Usually by November, these places are covered in snow.

00:16 an uncharacteristic lack of snowfall

00:18 due to unusually warm temperatures this year.

00:24 in the past, this is the first year

00:27 with no recorded snow at the Edmonton International Airport

00:31 weather station since it began operational in 1960.

00:37 to El Nino weather pattern, marked by Pacific Ocean

00:40 warming, altering the jet stream and influencing

00:49 to Western Canada.

00:54 of 10 to 15 centimeters in November, with January

00:57 and February being cooler months with less snow.

01:12 but it does not currently pose a threat

01:21 Lesser snow means freedom of movement

01:24 for an extended period of time.
