Meteorologist predicts this summer will be slightly warmer than last year’s
TORONTO — One of Canada’s most high-profile weather forecasters says that while spring may have been slow to start, it will be a hot summer throughout much of the country.
The Weather Network says the season’s forecast calls for a slightly warmer version of last year’s summer in most parts of Canada.
Chief Meteorologist Chris Scott predicts warmer weather than 2017 across the country, with two big exceptions: the area surrounding the Hudson Bay, which Scott says will be slightly cooler that last year; and Manitoba, which is expected to remain consistent with last year’s weather.
Scott predicts that British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon and the Northwest Territories will see the most significant heat, and could be at risk for drought and wildfires as a result.
