How's our summer been so far...
Based on a conversation I had this past weekend, I decided to look into it. For Ottawa (@Ottawa Airport).
June:
Normal Average High Temp: 24.1C
2014 June Average High Temp: 25.2 C
Normal Average Low Temp: 12.9 C
2014 June Average Low Temp: 13.0 C
Normal Mean Temperature: 18.5 C
2014 June Mean Temperature: 19.2 C
Normal Rainfall: 92.8 mm
2014 June Rainfall: 131.0 mm
Conclusion: June was warmer than normal (largely driven by heatwave ending the month) and wetter than normal (driven by a three day event, 11th thru 13th, totalling more than 48 mms).
July
Normal Average High Temp: 26.5C
2014 July Average High Temp: 25.5 C
Normal Average Low Temp: 15.5 C
2014 July Average Low Temp: 13.9 C
Normal Mean Temperature: 21.0 C
2014 July Mean Temperature: 19.7 C
Normal Rainfall: 91.9 mm
2014 July Rainfall: 109.0 mm (with one day with "missing" data)
Conclusion: July was cooler than normal (only two 30+ C days) and wetter than normal (driven by three 20+ mm daily rainfall totals).
August (so far):
Normal Average High Temp: 25.3C
2014 August (to 10th) Average High Temp: 27.4 C
Normal Average Low Temp: 14.3 C
2014 August (to 10th) Average Low Temp: 13.4 C
Normal Mean Temperature: 19.8 C
2014 August (to 10th) Mean Temperature: 20.4 C
Normal Rainfall: 85.5 mm
2014 August (to 10th) Rainfall: 3.6 mm
Conclusion: we are on track to be average in temperature but dry. However, it is interesting to note we have not have a 30+ C day since July 22nd and the odds of getting more are increasing slim as the normals creep down.

Quick post on the week
Actually had some time to look at weather stuff...there was a power outage at work.. Anyway...
The rest of the week looks unsettled but mild with spotty opportunities for t-showers.
Starting Friday and into the first part of next week, the weather is looking great. So if you have outdoor plans this weekend, bravo. If not, make some.

It's been quiet here
With my real job very busy right now with extended hours and otherwise getting ready to go camping, I have no time for my hobby. BUT, in preparation for my vacation next, I did look at the weather for next week up in Algonquin:
Tuesday’s warmer and a higher chance of showers/t-storms.
Wednesday’s scattered showers and getting cooler
Thursday & Friday, clearer but cooler.
But most worrisome: Biting insects are in full force in the region.
Sunday’s okay. Maybe a chance of afternoon showers/t-showers
Monday’s warmer. Also a chance of afternoon showers/t-showersTuesday’s warmer and a higher chance of showers/t-storms.

Chance of showers
Unlike the Env. Can. current forecast (Sunny. Becoming a mix of sun and cloud this morning. Wind becoming southwest 20 km/h late this morning. High 28. UV index 9 or very high.), there is a chance of getting wet this morning.
