Haliburton Highlands Long Term Weather - January 19, 2012

I just took a peek at the extended forecast and as previously reported, it looks like the winter of 2011-12 is going to be remembered for it’s above-seasonal temperatures mixed with about average precipitation. The worst part I think most folks would agree, is the melting of the snow on days like predicted on this coming Monday with a high of 36F degrees. When Monday’s nighttime temperatures roll around it will get icy so many will wake up to icy conditions on Tuesday morning. After Monday’s mixed precipitation, Tuesday’s snow won’t have a chance to melt with a 30-degree F day and scattered flurries. And so it goes. Happy trails!

Niagara Falls, Ontario - 6.10.11

Welcome to the  second weekend of June, 2011. It is amazing how quickly time is passing by as we move into the summer months. The very active weather has been a distinct reminder that we are not quite into summertime yet, rather as we transition we  are getting, as Ontario knows only too well, some very strong reminders of when warm fronts meet cold.

So what kind of weather is in store for this week? In a word I’d say ‘calm.’  Though not exactly beach weather, for most of the week temperatures should be about 20-21°C with almost no precipitation at all. A bit of a break to give everything (and one) time to dry out.

Haliburton Highlands Weekend Weather June 10 - 11

If you happen to look up into the sky right now you’ll notice variable clouds. The temperature is chilly at 52°F. The 24-hour precipitation outlook is for 0.8 inches from Friday overnight through Saturday overnight.

Saturday morning should be mainly cloudy with temperatures rising to 55°F, though by Saturday afternoon rain moves in with a high of 61°F. Saturday evening you should expect scattered showers and a high of 57°F. Overnight on Saturday look for cloudiness with clear breaks and a temperature of 50°F.

Wednesday, expect cloudy periods, a high temperature of 73°F and a low overnight of 54°F. You should not expect rain.

The forecast for Thursday is for sunny skies, a high temperature of 66°F and a warm-ish temperature overnight of 59°F.

The week closes out on Friday with isolated showers, a high of 68°F and a low overnight of 57°F. There may be up to 0.1 inches of precipitation accumulation on Friday.

So, What About the Bugs?:

Haliburton Highlands Bug Report through June 15

The bugs in cottage country right now are as we say, ‘thick.” What that means specifically is that the Black Flies will eat you up and the the Deer Flies will finish what’s left–UNLESS you wear long sleeved shirts, full-length pants and douse yourself in DEET. To state the obvious, the heavy rains have not helped the bug situation.

So all-in-all a good week for hiking, camping, biking, boating–whatever your pleasure. Just dress accordingly and you’ll have a grand time.

Barrie - Sunset June 3, 2011

Since I never quite got to bed last night (long story) I was able to grab some awesome morning shots of southeastern Ontario at 9 a.m. Eastern (8 a.m. Central). And, since I’m just getting the weather-cast done now, I’ve grabbed a couple more shots of sunsets in beautiful southeastern Ontario, Canada. Something for everyone.

I hear that Ontarians have had record rainfall in the month of May. I sympathize as though you might not expect it, weather here in the Chicago area is not too different. We’ve had the record rainy May, the zig-zagging temperatures, mostly on the cold side–but then excruciatingly hot and humid for a day or so as well. Just nutty.

So, what do we dare expect for this week? You may be pleasantly surprised!

First, in a big change, there will be almost no rainfall in southeastern Ontario for the next week. That is very welcome coming on the heels of such a wet May. Temperatures in general will be rather moderate with daytime highs about 21 or 22 °C during the day. Here are the details:

Haliburton Highlands Weekend Weather June 3 - 4 2011

Wednesday, June 8, isolated showers are again in the forecast. The high is expected to be 72°F and the overnight low, 50°F. You may get close to 0.1 inch of precipitation accumulation.
