Weather Forecast for Inuvik from Leipzig students

Weather Forecast for Inuvik, Canada

Date: Monday, April 23rd, 2012

General Weather Situation:
At the moment Northern Canada is influenced by the Aleutian Low to the west of Alaska as well as a thermal high situated in polar regions. An upper level ridge to the east of the Aleutian Low extends to the Northern Territories. However, Inuvik is located in an area affected by a low pressure gradient. As a result there is no distinct weather activity.

Course of the Day:
After a cold night with a minimum temperature of -10°C there will be an increase until just below freezing point which will be reached in the afternoon. Light winds blow from easterly and northeasterly directions. For the greater part the sky will be overcast with sunny intervals around noon. In the evening it will be clear. There won't be any precipitation during the day.

Forecast for Tuesday, April 24th, 2012:
The low pressure system above the Aleutes has moved to the southeast and is now located to the south of Alaska. Therefore Inuvik is influenced by an air flow from southerly directions. In the early hours the minimum temperature will reach -7°C, in the afternoon values above 0°C are possible. There will be a continously gentle breeze from easterly and southerly directions. After an overcast morning it will be sunny with cloudy intervals. It will remain dry again.

Forecast for Wednesday, April 25th, 2015:
During the night the temperature will sink to -7°C and approach 0°C during the day. Light snowfall and a full cloud coverage are likely. The wind will blow gently from easterly directions.

Further Outlook:
Within the next few days the low pressure system to the south of Alaska will shift further south. The development of a new low above Alaska will lead to changing weather.
