Climatologist Dave Phillips of Environment Canada is suggesting that Toronto will have a warmer than usual summer. He is quoted by CP24 as saying: “Last summer June was pretty nice but then it went downhill. I think it will be the reverse. This year June was kind of disappointing, very not summer like, and I think July, August and September will be more like the kind of summers that we dream of and that we haven’t seen so much in recent years,” Phillips said. “I think most Torontonians would say ‘Hey, just bring on some of that beer drinking tank top weather’ and I think they won’t be disappointed.” He said last year the average daytime high in June reached 25.1 C but so far this month the city has only seen an average daytime high of 22.4 C with plenty of days failing to break the 20 C threshold. “In Toronto July looks normal to warmer than normal and when you package July, August and September together it looks like it is going to be a warmer than normal summer,” he said. “You always have to be aware of the extreme weather, but I think there is a going to be good weather to enjoy in the Toronto area this summer.”
