July temperature flip-flop in Canada
Between July 2nd and July 11th, temperatures were below normal in eastern Ontario and most of Quebec while they were above normal in northern Yukon and the Northwest Territories. In fact, the 10-day mean temperature itself was higher in the Yukon and Northwest Territories than in Ontario and Quebec. Talk about a temperature flip-flop!
During that period, daily temperatures reached a scorching 33.7 °C in the north (in Little Chicago, NT, on July 7th), while they reached 32.2 °C in the south (in Sarnia, ON, on the 4th). In Inuvik, NT, where observations go back at least 65 years, the temperature rose to a record-breaking 32.6 °C on the 7th, whereas the previous record was 29.6 °C in 2017. Records in Inuvik were also broken on the 4th and 6th.
Over the next seven days, we can expect the temperature flip-flop in the North, Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces to return to normal. We also will see a shift to warmer-than-normal temperatures in the Prairies during that time period.
