Ottawa's wild weather 'the tip of the iceberg,' some experts say

Others believe tornadoes, flooding more difficult to predict

In 2017, Ottawa was hit with devastating floods. The next year, six tornadoes touched down in the region, ripping homes apart.

This year, a double whammy: more flooding last month, and on Sunday evening, another tornado.

And while experts aren't forecasting swarms of locusts just yet, several warn Ottawa should be prepared to deal with more of nature's wrath as the climate continues to warm.

"This is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak," said Paul Beckwith, a climate systems specialist and professor at the University of Ottawa.

"You know that it's going to get a lot worse."

Victoria shatters 121-year-old heat record on Tuesday
By Richard Zussman    Online Journalist based at B.C. Legislature  Global News   

Victoria’s Inner Habour shattered a 121-year-old heat record but Environment Canada isn’t getting too excited about.

A high of 28.4 C was recorded by a Victoria Harbour weather station on Tuesday, according to Environment Canada. The previous high on June 11 was 21.7 C set in 1898, a record that meteorologist Doug Lundquist said was “an easy one to break.”

West: Stormy start to week before summer snow threat

Sunday, June 16th 2019, 7:40 pm - A wild weather week ahead for western Canada

Rainy days are ahead for parts of the Prairies, first in the form of lingering thunderstorms and then in what may amount to the most rain in months for many. That rain will be welcomed for places that have been dealing with drought and wildfires, but it comes with a chilly price tag -- falling temperatures also bring the threat for a snowy official start to summer. We break down what you need to know for the week ahead, below.

Ontario: First few days of summer won't offer long-awaited heat

Monday, June 17th 2019, 8:37 pm - Summer's almost here, but don't bank on the heat for a little while longer yet.

As some Ontarians may be counting down to the end of what's been a mostly dreary and below seasonal spring season, the first days of summer don't look to offer much improvement as far as the summer heat goes. Cooler-than-average temperatures and unsettled conditions will remain in place as we head into the official kick off to summer on Friday.

Atlantic: Potent system to bring soaking rain, thunderstorms

Wednesday, June 19th 2019, 6:45 pm - Soggy few days ahead for Atlantic Canada with little breaks in between unsettled weather.

The official start to summer is right on the horizon, but Atlantic Canada can't seem to shake the damp and dreary pattern that's been the hallmark of this spring. While temperatures will be close to seasonal for many (with a few big exceptions), it'll be hard to get out and enjoy the early summer weather amid drenching rain and thunderstorms. More on how much rain to expect and why the long range outlook offers little hope for improvement from the active storm track, below.

Friday, June 21st 2019, 11:54 am - These snowy scenes may be difficult to digest, especially since it's the first day of SUMMER!

We're thinking Mother Nature may have our seasons confused as parts of western Canada face a HEAVY swath of snow right on the first day of summer.

Instead of abundant sunshine and pleasant temperatures more reminiscent of the favoured season, snowfall warnings have stretched across the higher elevations of the Rockies and into parts of the B.C. Interior this week. That's as an extremely slow and moisture-packed system dumps heavy, flooding rains on other parts of the Prairies.

Environment Canada Warns That Saskatchewan Is Facing Funnel Cloud Threats
The statement says funnel clouds often appear with little or no warning!
Helena Hanson

Environment Canada has issued a funnel cloud weather warning for most of central and southeastern Saskatchewan, with the area most likely to be affected including the City of Regina.

The city, which is the second-largest city in the province of Saskatchewan, was issued a funnel cloud advisory on Saturday morning at approximately 10:30 a.m. The warning stated that “Conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds today.”

The advisory stretches as far north as Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Yorkton and the City of Regina, and reaches as far southeast as Carlyle. According to the Environment Canada website, “These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms.”

Saskatchewan’s storm season is in full force.

On Thursday afternoon, the southwest part of the province saw Environment Canada issue a mixture of severe thunderstorm watches and warnings, along with tornado warnings.

Meteorologist Roby Dyck says a low-pressure system moving in from Alberta is forming supercell thunderstorms that produce wall clouds.

“(The wall clouds) look quite low to the ground, and that’s part of the mesocyclone of the tornado; it looks kind of like a space ship, like stacked plates,” she described.

Dyck noted that, for southern Saskatchewan, the severe weather is forecast to stick around for the first half of the Canada Day long weekend.

“(The watches and warnings) should be extended, or more than likely will be extended, well into the Manitoba border area,” she said, adding the system is expected to move out of the province late Sunday.

Throughout the weekend, Dyck advises people to continue checking their local forecast and keeping their eyes on the sky — especially later in the day.

For those camping, she urges them to take shelter during storms.

“Usually, campgrounds have a bathroom — you can go take shelter in there,” she said. “If you can’t find a structure, take shelter in a ditch — and make sure you’re covering your head, so it can be sheltered from any debris flying around.”
