The map tells what is going on in a very general sense, and covers all of Canada, unlike the regional and daily summaries, which focus on the areas outlined on the 蜜桃恋人 Regions map (page 210 of the print edition). For example, on the Canada Winter Forecast map, we see that most of Southern Ontario is predicted to be colder and snowier than average, although the southeastern parts are expected to be milder and drier than average (as is the area around the Hudson Bay, but that is not part of our 鈥淪outhern Ontario鈥 predictions).
The general summary (aka General 蜜桃恋人 Report and Forecast, found on page 97 of the print edition) takes into account all regional summaries for Canada. The general summary for winter 2024鈥25 indicates that we expect the winter to be seasonal or colder than usual in areas including Southern Ontario. Precipitation is predicted to be near to above normal overall鈥攚hen averaging areas within each entire province; for example, even though there is an area of dry in the southeastern Ontario on the map, the greatest portion of the province is predicted to have above-normal precipitation, as well as higher than average snowfall. We expect snow to be near to below normal, except in western Ontario (and parts of the Prairies)鈥where it will be above normal. In other words, for Southern Ontario, we are predicting the western part to be snowier than normal, and the (south)easternmost part to be near to below normal.
For winter, each regional summary averages the forecast dailies for November through March. For the Southern Ontario regional summary, we predict that the winter will be colder than normal, with above-average precipitation. Snowfall will be below average in the east and above average in the west. This agrees with the map and general summary. (鈥淓ast鈥 in this case is the southeastern area, such as around Toronto, Barrie, London, and Parry Sound.) In this case, the temperature and precipitation sections of the regional forecast were not broken down into east/west; instead, the overall averages were taken (colder temps and above-average precipitation) for the entire area of Southern Ontario. The map, however, breaks it down into separate sections.
