Capelin weather at its finest but then summer returns

When we enter a cooler-than-average weather pattern like this, it's never an easy pill to swallow. The fact that the calendar readsJulyonly adds salt to thewound.

However, if there's a silver lining this Julycompared to 2015it's that this time around there's already an end in sight.

While onshore winds from the north, east or southeast will dominate through this weekend, most forecast models are pointing towards a pattern shift through mid-next week and a return to more favourable southwest winds.

Capelin weather

Until that shift, the thousands of folks living on the Avalon, in the Metro region and along the northeast coastcan expect temperatures in the low double digits or low teens at best, far from where they should be this time of year.

It's capelin weather at its finest.

As many of you have mentioned to me, summer can't truly arrive until the capelin are rolling across the island. And this type of weather certainly seems to help to bring them in!

Now,for areas away of those onshore winds, including central Newfoundland, the south and west coastsas well as Labrador, this cooler pattern won't be nearly as drastic.

In fact, most inland areas will be warming back up into the teens over the next few days, with temperatures not too far from seasonal through this weekend.
