Despite a few cold nights, February weather back to relative normalcy for the mid-Island
NANAIMO — Average temperatures and about normal precipitation was the weather story for last month, as the mid-Island settles into more seasonal conditions to start March.
Environment Canada meteorologist Derek Lee said despite some cooler overnight conditions mid-month, the weather in February was about typical for this time of year.
“Daytime and nighttime temperatures averaged out each day, so both day and night averaged out on one day. We had an average (temperature) of about 4.5 degrees (Celcius), the normal would have been 4.3 degrees.”
The temperature did manage to dip below zero a few times, like from Feb. 13-17 when it was below zero each night.
