Get Ready For a Long Hot Summer… Again.
Now is the time to get the AC unit purchased and installed, JR Fam.
The trusty ol’ Farmers’ Almanac summer 2022 is going to be hot and dry once again.
“Well, the summer heat won’t be stopped at the border. Our extended forecast points to sizzling summer– especially across Central and Western Canada in the middle and latter part of July. Many localities during that time will be dealing with highs of 30 to 35C.
However, around the Great Lakes and points east, the overall averages will just tilt toward “seasonably warm” temperatures. This will be due to a wave of unseasonably cool air that will arrive in September, which will more than balance out a spell of brutally hot conditions.
In early July, Canada Day could be marred by severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and tornadoes for western Ontario. Festivities in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan will be threatened by squally weather traveling east out of the Rockies. Check your zone’s summer forecast for Canada Day here.
If you are planning a barbeque or camping trip for your holiday in early August, prepare for blistering hot temperatures. You may want to consider heading towards a river or lake for a necessary dunk! Luckily, rain should help to offset some of the heat in most places. Thunder, followed by clearing skies—hopefully in time for Civic holiday on the 6th—are expected in Newfoundland and Labrador. But rain showers may dampen New Brunswick Day and Natal Day in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Showers are expected in the Rockies and across the Prairies, then turning fair, in time for Saskatchewan Day, Heritage Day in Alberta, and Manitoba’s Civic Holiday. British Columbia Day festivities will be held under changeable skies along with a few widely scattered showers.
After mid-August, the worst of the heat should thankfully be behind us. The Gold Cup Parade on the 19th on Prince Edward Island will enjoy sunny skies. Precipitation will be below normal, on average, over Quebec and the Maritimes. Wet weather will predominate Ontario and the Great Lakes. Looking to the west, British Columbia will be unusually dry.
Toward the end of September, much cooler weather will begin to make its presence felt, possibly even leading to first sightings of wet snowflakes over parts of the Rockies.”
