The heat is on! Where will Canada sizzle the most in July?
The heart of the summer season is finally here! After a long winter and a sluggish spring, will July finally deliver consistently warm weather? Please read on to find out what we expect for the rest of the month. For most of Canada, July is the warmest month of the year, and we expect that July will really live up to its reputation and deliver very warm or hot weather to most of the country. Here is our July temperature forecast. SEE ALSO: The hottest weather relative to normal is expected from the Rockies to the Great Lakes, but warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected to stretch nearly from coast to coast. However, the focus of the hottest weather will shift back and forth across Canada during the month. For much of July, the heat will be centred on the Prairies, but it will shift into Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada at times. That will reduce the risk for extended stretches of hot weather and allow for periods of more refreshing conditions, even across the regions that will end up much warmer than normal overall. SEE ALSO: The one exception of the very warm pattern is expected to be across far northern parts of Canada (primarily north of the Arctic Circle) where temperatures are expected to be cooler than normal or near normal. Summer precipitation is notorious for being highly variable as thunderstorms can bring a month's worth of rain in an hour or two to one location and not a drop of rain just a few kilometres away. With that in mind, here is a look at the precipitation pattern that we expect for July: DON'T MISS: Overall, we expect that Western Canada will see below-normal precipitation. However, this will not be a completely dry pattern. We will see occasional thunderstorms across the region, including a threat for severe storms and localized, torrential rain. But, many areas will miss out on seeing regular rainfall, and trend much drier than what we saw during June. A more active pattern is expected across the eastern half of the country, from Ontario to Atlantic Canada. While thunderstorms will be more frequent across this region due to the muggy conditions and occasional cold fronts, there will be dry spells and localized areas could miss out on the storms and turn rather dry. Of course, the one thing that we can always count on from the month of July is the extended hours of daylight. We hope that you are able to take advantage of the extended evenings--and even the early mornings--and the warm weather to explore and enjoy the outdoors across our amazing country.

UK weather: Forecast for July revealed - after England's warmest June on record
We've just had the warmest June on record for England and the second-warmest June for the UK, but will July be similar? It was certainly a hot and humid start across the South East of England, with 34.7C (94.5F) seen at St James's Park in London yesterday. That's the UK's highest temperature of the year so far but a long way off the highest recorded in July, which is the national record of 40.3C (104.5F) seen at Coningsby on 19 July 2022. 1:58 The rest of this week will bring fresher and cooler conditions overall, with daytime temperatures widely below average on Sunday and Monday. The weather will turn more unsettled too - especially over the weekend - with spells of rain for most. It'll also be windy at times. From the middle of next week, it looks like pressure will build from the South West, settling things down again. Temperatures are likely to climb as well, potentially becoming very warm or hot again towards the middle of the month depending on the exact position of high pressure. 1:40 Looking further ahead, there is a lot of uncertainty for the last two weeks of July, with computer models showing a range of options. Farmers and gardeners will be hoping for some decent rain after the second-driest spring on record for England and the sixth driest for the UK. Some parts of northern England are already in drought conditions, other areas may well follow. Recent Julys have delivered a range of weather. July 2022 saw extreme heat, with the UK recording its highest-ever temperature. July 2023 brought notable rain, with some areas seeing more than twice the average. Last year, temperatures ended up being below average after the coldest start to July since 2004.
