“Just looking at the recent history, the last five June’s we’ve seen on record typically we’ve been sitting in and around 17, 18, 19, 20 degrees on average for the month of June. This June we came in with an average of about 23 degrees, when you look at all the temperatures of the entire month of June. Even though it may not seem like much, when you’re averaging over a significant period of time–like 30 days–seeing temperatures, few degrees more than what we’ve seen in recent history actually is quite significant.” said Lisa Evren, Meteorologist for Environment Canada.
