Dry for Central Manitoba, Hot for Western Prairie: Summer Forecast

Central Manitoba could be drier than normal this summer, while more heatwaves may be in store for the western Prairie, according to the Weather Network’s 2023 summer forecast. 

Released Wednesday, the seasonal forecast for the months of June, July, and August calls for a "come-and-go" summer across Canada, with periods of hot, dry weather interrupted at times by bouts of cooler temperatures. And while dryness continues to be a concern in some areas, the forecast suggests the changeable pattern should result in storms that reduce the potential for widespread drought.

The outlook for Alberta is for a generally hot summer but with cold fronts bringing relief at times. Significant rainfall events and thunderstorms are likely, which should result in near-normal precipitation for much of the province, the forecast said.

You don't need to grow up on a farm to build a career in Canadian agriculture. Robyn grew up in Richmond, Ontario - not on a farm, but in a community shaped by them.

Now she works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and the people who grow our food. Her drive? Making sure the right people understand what Canadian agriculture needs to thrive.

Her message to the next generation: "Agriculture today is full of possibilities - science, technology, business, communications, and policy. You're helping grow the food we eat, and it's hard to think of many things more impactful than that."
