It's coming, folks! A spring 2022 weather forecast for Canada has dropped and it looks like we're going to be in for some tumultuous weather over the coming months.

According to The Weather Network's forecast, March and April will likely see temperatures that are colder than normal for much of the country.

While pockets of warm weather are in store over the next two months, "late-winter" weather and a "turbulent transition" are very much on the horizon.

According to TWN, Canada has "a rocky road ahead with a few more bouts of late-winter-like weather before spring finally hits its stride across the country."

The part of the country expected to get most of the below-average temperatures is Western Canada, with cities like Vancouver, and Edmonton still seeing some cold before spring starts in earnest.

B.C., in particular, is expected to experience a delayed start to spring, which should also help to slow the start of fire season.

Ontarians and Quebecers may get some shots of spring weather but should expect more cold weather before anything else. The regions are predicted to see colder-than-normal temperatures and above-average precipitation.

Atlantic Canada is likely to see a more normal spring weather pattern, with temperatures going back-and-forth throughout the coming months. But due to "moisture-laden systems," the Atlantic provinces are also at risk for late-season winter storms. So, don't put away your winter boots just yet!

So it looks like consistent warm weather isn't really in the cards until we start approaching May.

For those hoping for toasty weather, it's slowly coming! But, there will still be more winter to get through before we can bust out the shorts.
