Ottawa to see temperatures hit 20 C again this week
Ottawa is set for another week of temperature swings, with the forecast calling for a high of 20 C on Tuesday and temperatures falling back to seasonal at the end of the week.
It is a rainy start to the work week, and Environment Canada's forecast calls for a chance of showers over the next four days.
"We thought that end of October, record warm in Ottawa was nature's gift, it keeps on giving," David Phillips, Environment Canada senior climatologist, told Newstalk 580 CFRA's Ottawa at Work with Patricia Boal.
"It's almost as if dual personality, the weather."
The temperature hit 20 C on 10 days in October, including two days last week.
Phillips says Ottawa will see some "needed" rain this week, noting the capital received less than half the normal precipitation in September and October.
Showers are expected to end this morning then cloudy with a chance of showers through the day. High 8 C.
Cloudy tonight with a chance of showers. Temperature rising to 11 C by morning.
