Meaford’s perfect summer weather

As I was enjoying another fresh, sunny, warm, crystal-clear Meaford morning, looking out to see Christian Island rising above the waters of Georgian Bay – some 40 kilometres away – I thought about how nice the weather had been recently. While we could use a little more rain right now, the threatening hot, humid days hadn’t materialized. And even when we did get some 30 degree weather on Monday, the humidity dropped before day’s end for a perfect summer night.

Friends visiting from Dundas, Ontario last weekend commented on how the weather was so much nicer – warm and bright, but not oppressively hot and humid. We threw out the old line that it’s usually about 2 degrees cooler in Meaford than in the GTA. Have been saying it forever, and wondered just how true it is.

Well,

Owen Sound average for today

Toronto averages for today

In fact, the historicals on Environment Canada’s weather site show our weather two to three degrees lower than Toronto’s over the summer months. Package in less humidity, and your summer’s a lot more comfortable. Of course, you can also head down to the beach, where a sweet breeze or a quick dip in Georgian Bay will refresh your body – and your whole outlook. See you down there!

(And have another look at the stats above… looks like we’re getting another six minutes of daylight to enjoy today.)
