Climate Patterns, Trends, and Projections for Omineca, Skeena, and Northeast Natural Resource Regions

This document summarizes baseline climate, trends, and projections for the three natural resource regions within the North Area of the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO): the Omineca, Skeena, and Northeast Natural Resource Regions. This information is intended to support the goals outlined in FLNRO’s Climate Change Strategy and to aid in climate change action and adaptation planning for regions and districts within the North Area Region. District baseline climate summaries were created using daily recorded data from Environment Canada weather stations from the time weather station recording began in 1886 up to 2008. Climatic projections for the base climate stations were developed using the ClimateBC spatial software.
