Frank Seglenieks is coordinator of the Eric D. Soulis Climate Station on the College of Waterloo.
He says this week goes to be “abnormally warm.”
Setting Canada is predicting a daytime excessive of 24 levels Monday with primarily sunny circumstances. That comes after a excessive of 20 levels on Saturday and 23 levels on Sunday.
“We’re going to get into the mid 20s, which is something we see occasionally here in the late October, but it’s rare to have 2 or 3 days sort of at that level,” Seglenieks stated.
Not solely is it heat and sunny this weekend, however there’s been an absence of precipitation within the forecast recently too.
September was within the books for being one of many high 10 driest within the final 100 years and October is on tempo to hit the identical document.
“If you look at the satellite image, there’s basically not a cloud across the whole eastern seaboard of North America. So, really, we are in this dry period that’s lasted since the beginning of September.”
Seglenieks says it’s virtually like a shifting of seasons.
“It really does follow, though, a pattern that we’ve seen over the past 10 [to] 15 years where the fall temperature, both September and October, generally increase and have generally been more above average.”
Whereas the autumn is warming up, he says statistics present the spring may be very slowly cooling down.
“The spring temperatures are generally about the same or maybe even decreasing a bit.”
