As Ottawa swelters under a late summer heatwave, Environment Canada is predicting a warmer, drier fall for the nation's capital.
The seasonal forecast for September, October and November has a strong probability for above-average temperatures through the fall and a likelihood for lower than average levels of precipitation. The forecast also suggests it could be more humid than usual.
"September is looking pretty warm," he said. "All of Canada, really, but particularly the Ottawa Valley, we're showing warmer than normal." "Now, you have to understand, September is, on average, five degrees cooler than August," Phillips said. "But nevertheless, as what you're used to in September, it's going to be warmer than normal.
It doesn't mean sweltering temperatures, just warmer than average, and average temperatures do go down as the months progress towards winter.
