Yes, summer as we know it is coming, according to Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips.
He says we still have another few days of this cloudy unsettled weather and then the good stuff hits.
However Phillips can understand if people take the prediction with a grain of salt.
He says June was three degrees cooler than normal and July has had one of its worst starts ever in our region.
But Phillips says the models show that above normal temperatures with muggy weather should hit in mid-July and continue for a good part of the summer.
Phillips says some people are comparing the summer weather so far to the bad summer of 1992 and he says it’s not anywhere near close.
Back then our summer was a write-off, thanks to an erupting volcano in Indonesia in 1991 that played havoc with weather patterns in North America the following year.
Phillips says the summer of ’92 was the worst in 100 years with the coldest, the wettest and the cloudiest conditions.
