It's official: this summer will be warmer than usual

The official three-month summer forecast, released Wednesday, confirms the agency's unofficial prognosis made last month. Only a handful of parts of the country will miss out on higher temps -- notably P.E.I., Nova Scotia and parts of Newfoundland.

But the rest of the country looks set for plenty of warmth, says Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips. "Our models are showing that almost from coast to coast to coast, we'll be having warmer than normal temperatures," Phillips told CTV.ca Thursday morning.

As for the precipitation outlook, it's a mixed bag, with some parts of the country expected to get more rain than normal, and other parts less. Most of British Columbia and southern regions of Ontario and Quebec are expected to be drier than normal, while the Prairies could see more precipitation than usual.

But Phillips points out that predicting precipitation patterns over three months is much harder than anticipating temperatures – which is hard enough in itself. "To tell you the truth, we'd rather not issue a precipitation forecast at all," he said. "If we get it right, I like to say it's more by chance, really. It's just really hard to predict."

Awesome. So now we Canadians can gather together at Tim Horton's to complain about the oppressive heat and humidity.

Which will be a nice break from gathering at Tim's to complain about the cold and snow.

It's nice to shake things up once in a while.

Yep! As far as I'm concerned....Summer started this morning. I've heard from three
different people that there where snow flakes falling in Regina yesterday before I got
out'a bed. If that's true, I missed it & woke up to wet roads and light rain.

At least you can have an Ice Cap.

I was up mowing at 7AM and could see my breath but nope, no snow. Not in the Flats anyway.
