Get ready to feel the heat, Canada.
The Weather Network is predicting more sunshine and warmer temperatures for the summer.
The weather broadcaster's annual summer forecast released Wednesday indicates Canada will be blanketed in heat over the next three months as the country sees fewer rainy days and several regions experience humid conditions.
"We'd be very surprised, very surprised, if this didn't turn out overall as a warm summer," Chris Scott, the Weather Network's chief meteorologist, said in an interview.
The broadcaster expects Ontario and Quebec to face periods of cooler weather in June, but the heat will eventually pick up, producing "a very hot and humid" summer with a heightened risk of extended heat waves.
"Summer should come on very strong in July and August and even linger right through into September, so if you invested in a pool, this is when it should really pay off," Scott said.
Canadians in the Atlantic provinces will similarly see warm conditions with the heat expected to peak in July and August.
