The Old Farmer's Almanac has just revealed its weather predictions for winter 2025-2026 coast-to-coast, and unfortunately, residents of Southern Ontario are set to see some of the most miserable conditions of all.
As the official forecast, released on Tuesday, states, "Winter will be milder than average across most of Canada, though Southeastern Ontario may experience below-normal temperatures."
It emphasizes that "mild," in this case, is still far from tropical, as any Canadian will know.
This outlook from The Old Farmer's Almanac, which has been issuing this and other forecasts since 1792, differs somewhat from the Farmer's Almanac (sans the "Old") projections issued earlier this month.
That forecast outlines more "traditional winter patterns" ranging from deep freezes to major snowfall across Ontario as well as elsewhere in the country.
