Farmers’ Almanac has released its long-range summer weather forecast.
The organization, in its spring forecast, predicted that those living in central and eastern parts of Canada can expect “violent thunderstorms and possibly even a twister or two” around the June solstice and that the country will make an “astronomical transition to summer” and the “heat will turn on big time across much of the country as June winds down to a close.”
Doubling down on the forecast, the Farmers’ Almanac says those in Central and Western Canada can expect a “sizzling summer” in the middle and latter part of July with temperatures as high as 30 to 35 deg C.
There is bad news for all looking forward to grand Canada Day celebrations after two years of pandemic cancellations as Farmers’ Almanac is predicting “severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and tornadoes for western Ontario” and “squally weather traveling east out of the Rockies in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.”

Canadians can expect “blistering hot temperatures” in August. The August long weekend or Civic Holiday weekend in the Maritimes will be marred by rain showers, but those in Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Prairies can expect clearer skies.
The organization says “the worst of the heat should thankfully be behind us” by mid-August and cooler weather will arrive by September with “first sightings of wet snowflakes over parts of the Rockies”.
Overall, the Farmers’ Almanac – which uses a unique formula to predict long-range weather – is predicting very warm and dry summer in B.C, a very hot summer with sizzling temperatures and scattered showery weather for the Prairies, a warm and wet summer for Ontario, a seasonable warm, drier than normal season for Quebec, and Maritimes, and warm temperatures and below-normal precipitation for Newfoundland and Labrador.
I love reading the farmers almanac.i especially like the gardening guide and the weather forecast almanac
