A little late... but here are the final numbers for December 2025.
The headline is, December monthly temperatures were below normal for the first time in 7-8 years for most locations in the Maritimes (Dec 2019-2018).
Precipitation finished near to below average for the region as drought continues.

It may seem petty but JHC the use of Mercator Projections when talking about territory and geopolitics is simply wrong.
It's a leftover from colonial maps we saw in our classrooms. C'mon @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

Just emptied 57.6mm from my gauge! The automatic stations from the CB mesonet show a swath of tropical rainfalls (40-80mm) from Halifax to Sydney. Unfortunately the Annapolis Valley only had a few mm.
BTW, the rainfall chart from the EU model I posted yesterday did well predicting this pattern.

The smoky haze has returned this morning. Otherwise, no change in the forecast: warm and dry thru the weekend.
More humid next week which increases the chances of fog and late day thunderstorms. Cold front late next week lowers humidity along with better chance of rain.

A team of us did 2010 study #Halifax we told the city yearly RSLR was 0.32cm. This study would mean we're over 0.75cm/yr We add 0.16mm/yr subsidence so we're higher than this study's 0.59cm/yr.
We told them: restudy & adjust accordingly. Ha. Nope. Now 2040 ~1cm/yr + we're in global highest rise zone

There is a difference between 1) having emotions about the state of the world and 2) trying to convince people that it’s too late to act on climate (a false premise that assumes climate change is pass/fail when it’s a matter of degrees).
Impeding climate action is complying in advance.

It’s official—2024 was by far the most expensive year on record for insured losses in Canada due extreme weather fuelled by climate change.
Losses totalled more than $8.5 billion last year, far above the previous record of $6.2 billion in 2016.
