Albertan weather is unique, and although
it is unpredictable, inhabitants still have an idea of what to expect depending
on the month and season. The same can be said of warmer climates like Australia
where snowfall is extremely scarce, but locals know to bundle up more during
winter months and the extent to which they need to warm themselves. With this said, what works there cannot be expected to sustain in harsher Canadian weather. The months are still the same, however, the severity of the seasons is entirely dependent on climate.
While it might mean nothing to wear
shorts and a t-shirt during the months of January and February in Australia,
doing the same in a city like Edmonton would mean hypothermia and certain frostbite. Hence, the two global climates are alike in that mid-latitude
cyclone generated storms do usher in a consistent flow of moist maritime air from
the ocean to close land surfaces, but difference in temperature and climate is due to the extent of inland penetration and is dependent on topography.
