See all the details in the attached final report for December and the outlook for the rest of winter, from Jill Maepea, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada.
UPDATED: Now contains summary for September, October and November, with outlook for December, January and February
If you already didn’t know, November 2018 was cold and wet; a repeat of October. As a result of being wet and cold, November was also stormy and windy. See all the details in the attached final report for fall and the outlook for winter (updated).
Here is a summary of the wind and rainfall for New Brunswick during November 2-4 as provided by Jill Maepea, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.
In a nutshell, October was cool and slightly wet (with the exception of the north which remained dry).
October was cool enough for unseasonably early snowfalls to accumulate for various parts of the province (not just the north!) in the second half of the month.
See all the details in the attached final report for October and the outlook for fall/winter.
From Jill Maepea, Environment and Climate Change Canada:
The above normal temperatures from July and August were replaced by temperatures near normal for September. September was also dry as precipitation for the month was below to well below normal.
See all the details in the attached final report for September and the outlook for fall.
From Jill Maepea of Environment and Climate Change Canada, here is the August review with an outlook for fall.
August mimicked July very closely with hot and humid conditions prevailing across the province. The main exception was a bit more precipitation mainly in the form of thunderstorms and showers (some of which were severe).
Hot and dry conditions dominated the month of July across New Brunswick. Will these conditions persist for August and beyond? Find out more in the attached final report for July and the outlook for August/Fall.

CANWARN involves an active group of people that spot and report on severe weather. It was originally formed as a network of weather-trained ham radio operators across Ontario, and has since spread to Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, and into Atlantic Canada. The network now includes a growing team of other formally trained severe-weather spotters, from members of the Canadian Red Cross to government and provincial park staff.
