On the other side, Canada is forecasted to be very cold, or at least neutral, with a lot of snow and severe frosts. Similarly, Alaska will be cold or neutral.
Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America are forecasted to be very hot during the holidays.
Unseasonably hot weather should surprise mainly Texas and neighboring states, where tropical temperatures above +30°C / 86°F are possible.
The coldest will be probably British Columbia, but too Canadian Prairies, including cities such as Vancouver, Edmonton, or Calgary.
In Canadian Arctic should appear at very low temperatures.
