Sekhon added that the region saw below average temperatures and near normal precipitation.
He also said for the Bulkley Valley and Lakes the spring season is also looking to be below average for temperatures.
“I’d say about a 70% chance of below average temperatures this spring over March, April and May but, of course that comes with the fact that we could have some warmer and colder spells within that period,” Sehkon said.
As for the month of March, it is expected for the region to go through a transition period from winter to spring.
