With the long weekend and a very hot, dry July now in the rearview mirror, many are looking ahead to what August has in store.
Environment Canada Senior Climatologist David Phillips says with a dry July, that also means there wasn’t nearly as much severe weather when it comes to things like thunderstorms.
With that, also comes a large reduction in the number of tornados seen across Ontario.
As of late, smoke in the air is something that’s been seen across Ontario – regardless of location.
Phillips says that’s because this is one of the worst years for wildfires to our west.
Overall, Phillips says a wet spring followed by a dry summer hasn’t been the worst for crops throughout Ontario, but he adds some more rain than we saw in July wouldn’t hurt.
