Unirrigated lawns are toast. Recent transplants are already seeing leaf drop.
No above average chances of rain until next Tuesday.
Sniffed this persistent dry down awhile ago.
I had a huge line come through. Tornado warnings just 30 miles west of me. Somehow it was fairly tame for me.
No high winds, lightning and thunder always somewhere in distance. Glad to have picked up 0.85” of rain though.
I was hoping I was wrong. But the story of many parts of Ontario and SW Quebec will be drought.
Isolated spots got a T-storm last week that just ran off of most surfaces. It is dry here. I can’t imagine what the current realities are in Ottawa and Montreal.
There seems to be a fair chance of precipitation tomorrow or Thursday. After that...nothing.
Summer hasn’t officially started yet.
I enjoy the light angles this time of year. From about May 7 to about August 1 my yard gets enough sun to form a dense canopy.
I live in suburbville where most of the shade comes from houses.
Beautiful 73 degree day here. Toronto low 60s. The winds must be kicking off the lake or something there.
We are going to get 6-7 straight days of summer like conditions. Warm, humid, and repeated chances of afternoon pop ups.
78 degrees in Timmins Ontario. 75 in Ottawa. 73 in Montreal. 75 in Quebec City.
Meanwhile - Kitchener, Guelph, and Toronto haven’t hit 70 yet this year.
Edit: Sault Ste Marie and Owen Sound also hit 70+ today. This has to be a first.
Today briefly hit 63-64. Nice pleasant surprise. Looks like 72 hours of mostly clear skies.
Im calling Thursday as our first 70 degree day. Going to get the fireball on ice.
I’m going to switch my vacation days. Tuesday was supposed to be great. No way in heck I’m going to take Tuesday off from work now. Went from 71 degrees to 51 degrees. I’ll take off that following Monday instead.
I live in Kitchener Ontario (hour west of Toronto) and I will go crazy if Northern Ontario/Quebec hits 70 degrees before we do.
And yet it will likely happen this Wednesday. Unreal.

Not surprising, but yet disappointing. Big blow to them.
Yep I just ripped the banter thread a new one over this. I’m so tired of below average temps. As a result - I know I’m going to melt into a paste when it even hits 25C.
I’ll take it another step. This is complete BS how long I’ve waited for a 70 degree day. I think it will end up being around 220 straight days below 70.
Monday and Tuesday next week were supposed to be 71 degrees. Now it’s dropped to highs of 59 and 60. WTF.
Weather models never waiver when it sees record cold a month from now. But an actual above average day a week in advance.......nope.
