One of Canada’s top weather forecasters is predicting a typical fall this year for most of the country.
Chief meteorologist Chris Scott of The Weather Network says there will be average temperatures and precipitation over the next three months.
And, Scott says just because fall is shaping up to be normal, it doesn’t point to a boring season because of thunderstorms that often occur in the fall.
Scott says people in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island will be on the lookout for hurricanes, with the peak of hurricane season typically in September.
He adds that hurricanes tend to occur in bursts with many happening at once but he can’t predict yet if any storms will hit land.
The Weather Network is predicting a higher than average number of storms across the Atlantic.
Meanwhile Ontario and Quebec are slated to have a colourful fall, thanks to average temperatures and precipitation rates.
The return to normal will come as a relief to Ontarians after record-breaking rainfall in July.
Scott says the Prairies, B-C and northern regions can look forward to a normal fall.
