Still no rain

Depending where you live in west end Montreal and off island to the Ontario border, you have had anywhere between 25 and 50mm of rain this month (1-2 inches), the normal is around 91mm. It is just not enough in this sweltering heat that we have had in July. Lawns, gardens and especially trees are beginning to show serious signs of water depletion and heat stress. This is true in neighborhoods, such as mine that have watering bans in effect. Leaves are changing color to yellow and dropping from trees making some area resemble October and not July. We will see what we can squeeze out of the clouds today. Yesterday the heaviest rain and storms split Montreal moving north and south of the city. Trenton, Ontario had close to 50mm yesterday alone. We had nothing but a few drops with officially 1.2mm at Trudeau Airport, just a splash in the rain gauge. Temperatures and cloud cover have thankfully lowered the temperature, we were at 26C the last two days, just shy of 80F. Today we are expecting weak low pressure to move across southern Quebec with some showers and thunderstorms. Radar returns at this moment are weak at best. Temperatures will be seasonable today at 24C before we warm close to 30C again towards the end of the week with humidity on the rise.
