I hope it will be, I will probably be going out then.
If we were in the US I'd blame the forecast problems on the dismantling of the science infrastructure. I haven't been keeping up on things here too closely, so have you (or anyone) heard of similar things happening in Canada? If Alberta handled that stuff, I'd just assume that that was likely the case.

@murdoc@autistics.life I haven't heard anything about cutbacks in Canada when it comes to meteorological observations & forecasting, only about things like long-term climate/environmental monitoring. However, I have been wondering if the cuts in the US are affecting the forecasting here. Weather models cross national borders, of course, & we'd be relying on their data for large scale patterns. Or it could just be climate change / extreme El Niño system that is pushing weather patterns outside the usual models.
