Spring in Ottawa is warmer, but the late snow is not at the table

March and April are expected to be warmer in the National Capital region than the average, although the “very variable” season is interrupted by some cooler temperatures before we initiate the summer.

Barbara Lapido, a warning provision with the environment and climate change Canada, said warmer days are in front of us, but there will be cooler temperatures for a few days or even weeks.

She added that March and April are always warmer than normal, although there will be “vibrations” in the temperature.

She said the coming weekend was a good example of the weather trend that Ottawa will see this spring. The mercury is expected to reach a climax on March 15 at 11 ° C and increase to 14 ° C the following day, before it was slightly back to 5 ° C the following week. The temperatures are expected to be back in double -digit numbers by Wednesday.

The average temperatures for this season see the daily height by two years and depths in the negative.

“It is the TRansformation between winter and spring and summer, ”said Lapido. “It will be above the normal value, but there will still be a few cold days.”

According to Lapido, models show no clear signs of what is to be expected.

“Every scenario is possible,” she said, which means that it is not clear whether the precipitation levels are above, below or the average.

“There is no clear trend this year,” she said, “that could be a good thing, we don't know yet.”

She noticed that spring can mean going into the storm season and warning people to pay attention to storm forecasts, watches and warnings.

The chief meteorologist of the betting network, Chris Scott, announced the Canadian Press at the beginning of this week that spring could possibly be A little cooler in Westkanada, but otherwise almost normal in the rest of the country, according to the forecast.

Scott said that it develops into a wet source both in the south of Ontario and in Quebec, but it no longer means that it means more rainy days, although some “rather intensive” storm systems could be on the horizon.

Parts of Ontario and in particular Cottage Country could also be exposed to flood risks if strong precipitation is equipped with a melting strong snow packaging, he said.
