Question

The people in Galetown want to know if all the rain storms in the future will be more severe? Or will some just be normal? You should make a prediction. What do you think?

Answer 1

Answer:

While it’s difficult for meteorologists to tell us exactly what the weather will be like all season long, David Phillips, Environment and Climate Change Canada’s senior climatologist, gave us a nationwide temperature and precipitation forecast for June through to August. Phillips and Environment Canada’s forecast looks at whether temperatures and precipitation is expected to be “below normal,” “above normal” or “near normal” based on historical averages

Explanation:

Though this is a seasonal forecast, it’s still important to check local conditions before venturing outside (we love Environment Canada’s WeatherCAN App). Phillips also urges Canadians to keep an eye out for severe weather events, like tornadoes and thunderstorms, which are common in the summertime. “We’re not just a country of winter severe weather. We get 3 million lightning hits a year. We are the second-most tornado-prone country. We get multi-million dollar hailstorms. We have strong winds, flash flooding rains,” says Phillips. “But I think those are something you can’t forecast apart from the day they’re going to happen.”

Here is what Environment Canada is forecasting this summer, region to region.
