It was roughly half a degree warmer than normal in Prince George during April according to Environment Canada.
The average high was 5.3 degrees Celsius while the normal was 4.9.
Meteorologist, Bobby Sekohn told Vista Radio it was also fairly dry in our area.
“We had about 24 millimetres of precipitation in Prince George, which is below the normal of 37 millimetres. It’s about 65% of normal and even though the weather pattern was fairly normal to start the spring, it just didn’t deliver the precipitation.”
As for May, Sekohn added it will likely be a warmer-than-normal month.
“We are not going to see a lot of extremes but the overall outlook is above normal. What that is going to look like om a week-to-week or day-to-day scenario is hard to monitor but on average, according to seasonal forecasts, May will have above-seasonal temperatures.”
However, some shower activity is on the way for the area spanning from Tuesday evening into Wednesday of this week with highs of 19 and 12 degrees expected.
“Right now, we are probably looking at somewhere in the 10-15 millimetre range for Tuesday night and into Wednesday. That will help but its important to note that as we get into May, June and July those are our wettest months of the year.”
Temperatures are then anticipated to bounce around the 12-15 degree range Thursday to Sunday.
