What Is The Weather Today II (No Mercury Jockeying)

[TownGuy]

I guess at the outset Montreal would be considered a dark horse but not out of the question.

A rare Wednesday photo from me. Very mild today, overcast.

Beautiful and sunny here... but only +1c / +34F

Doesn't feel right.

[SignalHillHiker]

Lots of sun throughout the day with sporadic cloud. It stayed pretty cool, with some periods of gusty winds, but fine overall.

[LFC]

There is a definite chill in the air around these parts, Snow isnt too far up the hills around the Valley.

Hit a high of 6c today and mostly sunny, and have stayed off the freeze list, but its looking like the clear skies tonight with dip the mercury to around -3c.

Kelowna is at -3c, it has fallen

Last evening's sunset plus a few pics over the basin this morning. We dropped to 12.4 at 6 am and by 9 am we were at 16.8.

Mild, showers and fog today.

Went for a couple walks. One up in the Canadian Shield and then another along Lake Ontario.





Lake Ontario


Fog being as fickle as it, same spot about 10 minutes later

17C and overcast. I won't complain since those are awesome temperatures for this time of the year but a little bit of sun would be nice.

Low of 15C this morning. Very pleasant sleeping weather. Windows open and very conformable. That is the flip side of the clouds. Super mild nights.

The warmspot was Kejimkujik Park, NS at 23.6C.

Warmest low was Windsor, ON at 15.2C.

Not even close. The only place that has the potential to go a year without freezing are very isolated BC remote islands in the middle of the ocean. And even that happen VERY rarely.

It's rare for sure, but has happened: "Victoria has recorded completely freeze-free winter seasons four times (in 1925–26, 1939–40, 1999–2000, and 2002–03)."

Fair enough... but it's literally the mildest weather station so you need to be very selective in order to find such cases. And even then, last time it happened was 21 years ago.

What sublime photos! Canada's natural landscape is unearthly!

Sunny for most of the day, then clouded up. High was 20.7 and low was 14.7. Tomorrow could possibly hit 25, then back to seasonal for the weekend and cold by Halloween.

All these freezes seem really early this year. Typically you wouldn't expect to see the first frost in Southern Ontario & BC until November. Some years Victoria has even gone without freezing.

[Marty_Mcfly]

The only location in Ontario that has been a bit early this year is Toronto, which usually makes it into November. Very early for Victoria too, though it has frozen at some point before the end of the year in most of our freeze lists in the last 5'ish years. Everything else is par the course, except for Kingston and Charlottetown, both of which are surprising survivors as we approach November.

[SignalHillHiker]

Yesterday was often rainy.

Today, the skies are clear thus far, beautiful sunrise.

[MonctonRad]

11C and rain in Moncton at 9 AM, going up to 17C this afternoon. Clearing off this evening, but the overnight low will remain a balmy 12C.

Big changes next week.
