Summer forecast
As we welcome a new season, what’s in store over the next few months?
Temperature-wise, Ontario will certainly have some extremely hot days, but the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a cool enough September to bring summer averages down to seasonal.
As for rain and thunderstorms, Ontario will see quite a few. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts a stormy Canada Day weekend with the potential for hail and tornadoes in Western Ontario.
