Still cool in Montreal - Kemptville

The weather remains cool across large portions of the country. The only heat it seems is limited to B.C. where lightning strikes and dry weather continue to hamper firefighters. Frost and even snow was reported across the Prairies this past weekend, with some intense thunderstorms over southern Ontario yesterday.

Today is rainy and cool again in Montreal. I have been working nights this week, and had to put the heater on in the truck Monday, and a jacket on last night. It does not feel like June. The steady rain is nearly over in Montreal, and has ended in eastern Ontario. The air will remain unstable and cool, and I expect thunderstorms to develop this afternoon, especially along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Tomorrow will remain unsettled before it clears for Thursday. It looks like much warmer air is on the way for the last two weeks of the month. We are looking at daytime highs to rise to near or even above normal. Temperatures could approach 25 to 27C by early next week.

I was on the West Island of Montreal this past weekend. We are looking for a new home and planning a move. I took the above photo of the McGill Doppler Radar site in St. Anne de Bellevue. Some of the homes were very close to this site, and I love the idea of living within striking range of a Doppler radar site. We are even thinking of calling our new puppy Doppy!
