As Ontario says goodbye to another scorching summer, locals might not need to pack away their shorts and sunglasses just yet. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is predicting that the province could enjoy an extended stretch of warm weather well into the fall.
According to ECCC’s latest three-month outlook, there’s a strong chance of above-normal temperatures across Ontario from September through November. Southern Ontario is looking at a 40% probability of warmer-than-usual weather, while northern regions are even more likely to stay mild—50% in the north and up to 60% in the far north.
That doesn’t mean chilly days are completely off the table. The forecast still allows for a 30% chance of near-normal fall temperatures, and in southwestern Ontario, there’s even a 20% chance of cooler-than-average conditions.
The extended outlook echoes predictions from the Farmers’ Almanac, which called for southern Ontario to experience some of its warmest fall days in early October and mid-November.
For now, Ontarians can keep enjoying patio season a little longer than expected—though it’s always smart to keep a sweater handy for when the real fall chill finally sets in.
