Friday, June 3, 2022, 9:24 am – In a country the size of Canada, it is difficult for the whole country to experience the same weather pattern. The first half of June seems to be doing just that, and perhaps not so well for many.
June 1 marked the official start of the meteorological summer this week, and in a truly Canadian way, there will be very little real summer time in the coming weeks.
“Summer is pushing the pause button!” Says Dr. Doug Gillam, a meteorologist with The Weather Network.

Parts of Canada saw heat and humidity similar to mid-summer, and even record temperatures sometimes in May, but now that it’s June, hot weather will be missing across Canada for at least the next two weeks.
For much of Western Canada, this means that a cooler than normal model will continue to dominate over the next few weeks. However, the northwestern and northern parts of the country will enjoy warm and dry weather.
A cooler model is expected in Ontario and Quebec, with no heat or depressing humidity over the next two to three weeks. For Atlantic Canada, the summer will struggle to achieve its success in the next few weeks, although this is not uncommon for June in the region.
“So while we’re looking at Canada, we don’t see really hot weather for at least the first two to three weeks of June,” Gillam said. “According to the calendar, it’s still spring, and for most Canadians, the next few weeks will certainly feel more like spring.”
Here’s a closer look at how June begins across the country.
BRITISH COLOMBIA
Vancouver finally reached 20 degrees (for such a short time) for the first time this year on Thursday, but as we head to the weekend, the cool and restless pattern will resume in the region. A few days of drier weather are likely early and mid-next week, but it looks like the model will be out of order again at the end of next week and weekend. Temperatures will also continue to be lower than the seasonal ones.
PRORIES
The western prairies will see mostly sunny and pleasant conditions for the beginning of the weekend, and the warm weather will continue in northern Alberta next week. However, southern Alberta will become cooler than Sunday, with several rounds of much-needed rainfall for much of southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan by early next week.
In the meantime, the eastern prairies will remain quite cool. In fact, there will be several nights at risk of freezing and localized freezing conditions until Monday.

“The good news is that next week we will see much-needed dry weather for the eastern prairies,” Gillam said. “However, the cold pattern means it will take longer for the fields to dry out and slow the progress of the growing season.”

ONTARIO AND QUEBEC
A reinforcing photo of cooler weather will arrive over the weekend with the threat of freezing for parts of northern Ontario and parts of Quebec. The cooler of the seasonal conditions will continue next week and next week.
Northwest Ontario will finally rest from the overly wet pattern that has dominated the past few months. Meanwhile, several systems will follow through southern Ontario and southern Quebec next week, leading to several periods of rain, but we will also see some sunshine between the systems.
Although no hot weather is seen in the first two to three weeks of June (in stark contrast to what we sometimes saw in May), the first half of June will still bring periods of pleasant weather for most outdoor activities, and there are signs that more The warmest model will be back before we get to the end of June.
ATLANTIC CANADA
As the topic for the rest of the country goes, the lower than seasonal temperatures will be noticeable in Primorye over the weekend and early next week.
Temperatures will be close to the seasonal ones in the region for the middle of next week, but no hot weather is visible. However, we are watching closely a tropical storm that will follow the east coast of the United States during the week. The storm is expected to remain at sea at this time, but we cannot completely rule out some minor impacts from the remains for parts of Newfoundland.
