OAKVILLE, ON – Most of Canada can look forward to a typical summer, but weather for the start of the season will be more variable, as the Weather Network predicts stretches of warm weather sandwiched between some cool snaps in June.
Weather patterns over the next two weeks will be changeable across Canada. The Weather Network says we should expect the hottest weather through the first half of June to reside across the BC Southern Interior, while the best chance of thunderstorms will be focused in the Prairies, particularly Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Farther east, unsettled conditions will dominate from the Great Lakes through Atlantic Canada, with cooler temperatures than what were seen at the end of May across Ontario and Quebec.
The Weather Network’s Summer Outlook forecast shows that from July things will smooth out weather-wise, making way for more consistently warm weather for the rest of the season (see image at right). Parts of British Columbia and Atlantic Canada will see the best chance for above normal temperatures.
"Although parts of Canada may see some upside-down weather in June, overall we can look forward to a pretty typical Canadian summer,” said Chris Scott, chief meteorologist at The Weather Network, in a release. “Summer is also thunderstorm season and people should stay on top of changing weather conditions to avoid being caught out in the storm.”
