The season of new beginnings is just around the corner and with that comes warm weather and sunshine. But, according to the spring forecast in Canada, some provinces will have a slower start to the season than others.
In a phone interview with Curiocity, a meteorologist from Environment Canada revealed what each province can expect from the start of spring until late May.
It looks like Ontario will experience some warmer-than-average weather this spring, but sadly, it doesn’t look like that includes Toronto.
Environment Canada says that right now, they are seeing signs of “above-normal temperatures” coming to parts of Ontario, “particularly in the north and around the upper Great Lakes.”
Southern Ontario can expect near-normal spring weather in most areas. As for precipitation, there are indications of near-normal amounts in Ontario this year, but “it’s not a very strong signal one way or the other.”
