As many parts of Canada wait for any sign of summer-like weather, The Weather Network’s Doug Gillham says it may still be several weeks away.
On Wednesday, the first day of May, communities from Quebec to the B.C. interior were experiencing temperatures several degrees below their seasonal averages. Freezing rain warnings were in place for parts of northern and central Ontario, as well as the area around the Laurentians in Quebec. Below-freezing temperatures were expected overnight in Calgary and Edmonton, with Ottawa and Winnipeg only narrowly escaping similar forecasts.
“Years that had similar global pattern, that had a cold April and a cold start to May, typically that pattern flips during the second half of May and it’s like you have sudden summer,” Gillham said.
