‘Ottawa’ Keep Those Winter Coats Out a Little Longer, Despite the Welcome Sunshine
If you’re tired of your friends bragging about their Caribbean vacations while you’re still bundling up against the Ottawa cold, it’s not quite done yet.
The high for Saturday will be a mostly sunny 2 C, with light winds at 20 km/h and a UV index of four.
If you’re planning an evening out, don’t forget your gloves, as the low for Saturday is expected to be -9 C.
The sun will stick around for Sunday, with temperatures climbing to 5 C, well above the 2 C average high for this time in March.
The beginning of the work week promises highs above zero during the day with freezy night time lows around -15 C.
Monday, the official astronomical beginning of spring, is a veritable weather medley, with flurries and/or showers in the forecast and an expected high of a balmy 7 C.
But the thermometer is expected to plunge again, as the temperature dips back down to -5 C by Wednesday.
When does the weather get nice in Ottawa…I can’t remember anymore
