Arctic Air Is 'Plunging' South Over All Of Canada & It Will Bring 'Unusually Cold Weather'

Winter in Canada is making a comeback across the country and Canada's weather will be turning unusually cold thanks to "plunging" arctic air.

The Weather Network has forecast that a pattern change will frost over most of North America during the middle of November and almost everywhere in Canada and the U.S. will get "an abnormal chill."

There are two ridges of high pressure on either side of the country that'll send cold arctic air "plunging" south across Canada next week.

The Weather Network said that unusually cold weather will sweep across most of North America, meaning just about everyone from the west coast to the east coast will get below-seasonal temperatures next week.

In Canada, widespread colder-than-normal temperatures are expected to last for a while, stretching into the following weeks.

This will give some parts of the country their first shot of winter weather!

Over the weekend, southern Ontario is set to get overnight temperatures below freezing along with the season's first significant and "multi-day snow squall" event.

Then, as arctic air plunges south next week, flurries are expected in the Greater Toronto Area.

Recently, a 12-hour blizzard hit Nunavut, the first major snowstorm of the season, dropped up to 40 centimetres of snow in the Prairies and four of the coldest places on Earth were in Alberta, with temperatures between -27 C and -24 C!
