The Summer That Wasn't....

This summer has been really weird - with daily weather unlike anything I can remember. We've had rain just about every day and no real lengthy periods of sunny days, hot and humid days, or even periods of drought that kill grass or aid forest fires.

These weather anomalies prompted me to contact Environment Canada and ask them if they have predictive data for long range forecasts.

And they do ! Here are two very interesting sites, albeit both of them are quite scientific and require some reading to fully understand.

For 10-day information:

For monthly and seasonal info:

While we can't change the weather, we can perhaps better understand it !
