Canada on the hunt for its first 30 C after notching a 25 C reading – The Weather Network

While there may be another shot of wintry weather in parts of Canada before it’s gone for good for the next several months, other areas of the country are moving ahead with summer-like weather already.

For southern Ontario, above-normal warmth has already infiltrated the region this spring, with several locales hitting the 20-degree mark in March. It should come as no surprise then that a community in the region scored the country’s first 25 C reading in 2024.

St. Catharines, Ont., was the lucky community to score Canada’s first 25-degree high. The city obtained a balmy 25.5 C temperature on Tuesday, April 9, underneath beautiful, sunny skies and accompanied by a warm, southwesterly wind.

Also on that day, of note, is Ottawa documenting its first 21 C daytime high of the year, just a few degrees shy of the aforementioned community. To put a feather in its cap this week, Ottawa was Canada’s hot spot on Wednesday after securing a 21.9 C daytime high.

While it may seem odd to reach this feat anywhere in the country in April, it’s actually on par for somewhere across Canada to do so, partly due to the growing sunlight hours spring has to offer.

When can we expect a 30 C daytime high?

With the mid-20-degree mark having been reached, it begs the question: When will Canada record a 30 C reading?
