Are you Canadians having an unusually cool spring?

If you respond to this, please specify your province.

1. Hottest week of the year so far on Vancouver Island.

6. Its weird though

I think it was Friday that was extremely hot with white skies. Yesterday was very cool with silvery blue skies and a blazing white sun. Far too many ugly chemtrails messing up the skies too.

2. It's been pretty much average around here

in Toronto, Ontario. It's been a little cool this week, but all in all, the spring has been pretty mild. We've had some warm days over the past month or so, but nothing unusual. Our winter, however, was much milder than usual.

3. Record breaking heat here in Saskatchewan.

Temperatures in the 30's day after day and it's only May!

5. You mean 30's Fahrenheit?! nt

4. Here in Niagara region of Southern Ontario winter and spring have been

quite mild. We're expecting a really hot summer.

7. Alberta here

Calgary, to be precise. We had a record breaking day, yesterday. Went to 30.7 degrees. Hottest for 130 years! yikes! Today wasn't too bad. Last I checked was about 26. But, naturally, with the long weekend coming up tomorrow, it's going to rain. sigh.

8. In Québec we're having an unsusually cold, and wet spring.

I'm really fucking tired of all this damn rain.

9. Pretty cool and damp in Nova Scotia so far...

Not sure about how normal or abnormal that is, but today, for example, it's 10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) and cloudy. We've had some glorious mild, sunny days--usually on weekends, oddly enough--but the temp hasn't gotten much over 20 C (68 F) yet.

So I'd call it roughly normal. Doesn't really warm up here until June. Then everything greens up seemingly overnight.

10. Ontario, not sayin' where ;)

Not especially hot, but early -- the gardens are lush like they wouldn't have been for another 3 or 4 weeks, 10 years ago. (Anybody else remember when nothing was to be planted before Victoria Day weekend, for fear of late frost??) For the last week, cooler and rainy, which was very much needed.

And those 30s in Saskatchewan are Celsius, not Fahrenheit, of course. ;)

More like in the teens here, I think. I don't follow weather too closely. It's either jacket weather or it isn't, and it's been kind of in between this last week.

11. Thanks for setting me straight about the temperatures! nt

12. Warm here too

It's been really warm the last 10 days or so in Calgary. Cooling off today though

13. Pretty warm spring here in Ottawa

This past week was cooler than usual, but overall much warmer than usual.

The Hummingbirds are all back (not usually until 2nd week of June), frogs have come early and the trees have branches full of leaves already.

It was a very unusually warm winter, with thunderstorms in January(!) and rain in every winter month.

I'd say the spring has advanced by about two weeks in terms of temperature and wildlife signs over the past 15 years.
