Climate Trends and Variations BulletinAnnual 2005Regional Temperature
Regional PrecipitationSix climate regions experienced wet enough years to rank among the ten wettest years: Arctic Tundra (2nd wettest, +23.1%); Northwestern Forest (2nd wettest, +12.8%); Arctic Mountains and Fiords (5th wettest, +32.0%); Mackenzie District (5th wettest, +19.9%); North B.C. Mountains/Yukon (5th wettest; +19.1%); Prairies (7th wettest, +18.2%). It is of interest to note that none of the regions individually experenced their wettest year, however collectively they produced the wettest year on record, which shows just how wide spread the wetness was this past year. None of the regions were dry enough to rank among the ten driest years, however three regions, South B.C. Mountains (-3.8%); Pacific Coast (-5.5%); and Great Lakes/St. Lawrence (-3.5%) were only slightly drier than normal. All of the climate regions and their rankings for 2005 relative to the last 58 years, are listed in the ranked regional precipitation table. Interestingly, the Pacific Coast Region has not had a wetter than normal year since 1999. A summary of this past year's precipitation rankings for each region, along with the record driest and wettest years, are listed in the extremes and current year rankings table.
