As the long weekend approaches, Canadians can look forward to warmer temperatures as we climb back into above seasonal weather.
According to Environment Canada, many parts of the country will experience a significant increase in temperatures, with some areas reaching highs of 25 degrees Celsius. This is a welcome change for many, as the past few weeks have seen below seasonal temperatures and even snow in some regions.
The warm weather is expected to last throughout the weekend, making it the perfect time for outdoor activities and gatherings with friends and family. However, officials are reminding everyone to continue following COVID-19 safety protocols and to practice physical distancing while enjoying the warmer weather.
For those planning to travel, it is important to note that some provinces still have restrictions in place. It is recommended to check with local authorities before making any plans.
In addition to the warmer temperatures, the long weekend also marks the unofficial start of summer. This means that many seasonal businesses, such as campgrounds and amusement parks, will be opening their doors for the first time this year.
While the warmer weather is a welcome change, it is important to remember to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun’s rays. Wearing sunscreen and staying in the shade when possible can help prevent sunburns and heat exhaustion.
As we enjoy the long weekend and the return of above seasonal temperatures, let us also remember to continue following public health guidelines to keep ourselves and our communities safe.
