Hot temperatures to be followed by rain this week
More up and down temperatures are expected to continue this week across the province.
While the next couple of days will be hot, with temperatures rising to the low 30s, they will quickly drop to the low 20s by the end of the work week, with expected rainfall and possible thunderstorms.
“Just some warm air mass right now, or at least moving in for Tuesday and Wednesday, I should say, with winds coming out of the south both those days. Then, it looks like either on the day Wednesday or perhaps Wednesday evening, a cold front will move through, coming out of Alberta, so west to east. That’ll bring a chance for some thunderstorms and showers later in the week, as well as some cooler temperatures in behind it for Thursday onwards,” explained Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) meteorologist Crawford Luke.
“I wouldn’t say these ups and downs are not normal, it’s just kind of the pattern that we’re in. Sometimes we get into these stretches where it’s unsettled every day, and sometimes we get into these stretches where it’s kind of hot and sunny for several days in a row. Right now, we’re just kind of going back and forth with a little bit of everything, and that just kind of seems to be what the next five to 10 days are looking like.”
