Old Farmer’s Almanac 2026: A Cooler Spring for Canada? | Splittly Blog
Canadians hoping for an early spring might need to keep their parkas handy. The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a trusted source for centuries, is predicting a 'cooler than normal' spring for much of the country in 2026.
Chill in the Air
According to the Almanac, April and May will see temperatures dipping below average across Ontario, Quebec, and the Prairies. While the West Coast might see some milder days, the overall trend is chilly.
"It's a slow start to the growing season," warns agricultural expert Mark Thompson. "Farmers and gardeners should delay planting until late May to avoid frost damage."
Precipitation Predictions
Along with the cold comes the wet. The forecast suggests a wetter-than-average spring for the Atlantic provinces, while the West might see drier conditions. It's a mixed bag, but the umbrella will definitely be a necessary accessory.
