Climate Warming - National Winter Temperature Scenario: 2050

Climate Warming - National Winter Temperature Scenario: 2050 is an open dataset from Natural Resources Canada with 4 files (ZIP, JP2, OTHER); catalogue record updated 2022-03-14. On CanQuery you can follow the original downloads. Files are available in English and French.

A simulation of projected changes in the winter (December to February) temperatures from the period 1961 to 1990 to the period 2040 to 2060 for Canada is shown on this map. The temperature changes would not be evenly distributed geographically. The largest warming projected is for the interior and northern parts of the country. Temperatures are projected to continue increasing as the century progresses. Temperatures would generally increase as a consequence of the projected increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The results are based on climate change simulations made with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.
