Haliburton Highlands Short Term Weather

Summer has certainly reached the Haliburton Highlands and on the whole, the weather for the next 2 weeks should be NORMAL. Isn’t that fantastic?!

I had high hopes after the less-than-great summers of 2008-09 and Mother Nature seems to have come through for us.

The remainder of this weekend calls for light rain and a high temperature of 68°F. Light rain continues overnight Sunday with low temperatures a mild 63°F. There could be 0.6 inches of rain in this 24-hour period.

Monday morning is more of the same with a prediction of cloudy with showers and the day starting at about 64°F.  By Monday afternoon  the weather shifts to cloudy with sunny breaks and a high temperature of 75°F.

Monday evening calls for variable cloudiness and a high of 75°F. Overnight Monday, expect cloudy periods which change to mostly clear as the temperature drops to 57°F.

Chapleau River, Ontario ( see below for larger photo)

Welcome to the Victoria Day weekend!
First off a big thanks to Mother Nature for the rain not really affecting the long weekend in cottage country!

Update/ The Bug Report is being published now so I’ve added it in with the photographs (below).

Still, the wet weather isn’t affecting cottagers. By the noon hour on Friday, traffic was almost at a dead stop on the 400. Sergeant Dave Woodford is with the Ontario Provincial Police and he said he saw traffic building even earlier than that. “Early this morning we’ve just seen trailer after trailer. A lot of boat trailers and drivers hauling the ATV’s behind their vehicles.”

Woodford warns that for those planning on getting in their boat, the water is still cold despite the recent hot weather. “Make sure that you have extra clothing on if you’re in your boat. Take extra caution out there because if anything happens and you go overboard or something like that, you don’t want to have hypothermia.”

Let’s get to the weather forecast shall we?

Short Term Weather Haliburton Highlands

Only a trace of precipitation is expected in this 24-hour period.

Victoria Day & Long Term Weather Forecast

On Monday, the 24th of May look for a mainly sunny day and more great temperatures for cottagers with a high of 26°C.  The low overnight is to be 13° C. The lakes should warm up quickly this year if this trend continues (which I hope it does!)

Tuesday will be a bright and sunny day, a precursor to some really warm weather coming up on Wednesday. The high temperature on Tuesday will be 27°F (!) and the low overnight 13°F.

Wednesday will be a sunny day and the temperature will be  28°C.  The overnight low will be 15°C. Love those cool cottage nights after a hot day!

Thursday will be mainly sunny with a high of 26°C and a low of 15°C overnight.

On Friday the mild trend continues with a high temperature of 24°C and an overnight low of 14°C.

There is no rain in the Sunday- Friday forecast!

Have a great week! Enjoy the webcam photos of Southern Ontario which I took in the early afternoon today. I love the sight of all those boats  docked in the water.

*Thought it was time to start using Celsius–at least throughout summer–as I’ve experienced and know how these temps feel (I’m not at Maple Lake, otherwise).

Kincardine Harbour Lake Huron - Ontario - April 27 2010

Kincardine Harbour - Lake Huron - Ontario 4.23.10

One of the reasons I like to check back via webcam on areas in southern/ south central Ontario is the seasonal changes that are most apparent by gazing upon the same vistas week after week. In the hard, cold midst of winter, very little changes. The water is frozen and if more snow falls upon the snow already on the ground—well, to my eyes it just looks like more snow.

But. This change–the one above is the one that signals to me that winter is officially over. Just four days ago there was but one boat anchored in the water of Kincardine harbour. However today at sunset when I pulled up the harbour on Lake Huron next to the Penetangore River, the harbour was nearly half full with boats in the water. Cool beans!

Since it was the time the Ontario sun was setting I was lucky enough to get some lovely photos including one that is wallpaper-pretty (you need to photoshop a bit of glare out–but otherwise it is luscious).

3.27.10 SkiDoo event - Chicopee Ski Resort, Ontario

Winter made its way back to Ontario and Quebec. But only for a day.

A sharp cold front swept across the provinces overnight, sending temperatures plummeting into the minus single digits. Factor in the wind chills, and it felt even colder than that. A big change from the rest of the month.

“(Friday) was actually the coldest day of March so far,” says Weather Network’s meteorologist Michelle Cassar.

Last week, some areas were hitting the mid and high teens. Forecasters say the shift in temperatures is just another example of a ‘meteorological roller coaster.’

“We get these springs of warmth that come in from the U.S. and then we knock it down again with that arctic air that sometimes drops down,” explains Weather Network meteorologist Chris Scott. ‘So the next few weeks we can expect a lot of ups and downs, big swings in temperatures and even precipitation.’

Sorry so late with the weather! Offline was spring break this week and if you still have a kid in (public) school you know what that means. Change! In everyone’s schedule. Some of it was planned change and was fun–just the same–late to the weather so I’ll get right to it now.

Weekend Weather Haliburton Highlands

Saturday shapes up as mainly sunny with mild temperatures of 41°F. Saturday evening, night expect variable-to-mainly cloudy skies with a low temperature Saturday overnight of 29°F.
