It's the start of November,
but if you go on a walk outside in London, Ontario, it almost
feels like it's a nice summer day.
It's terrific, except I had my bike put in storage, my motorbike.
Who would have thought that I could have been riding it in November?
So today I thought it was going to be pretty cold for a walk,
so I decided not to wear
shorts, but at the same time it was warm enough
that I had to roll them up to make a short
like.
clothing. But it seems like every year you can go measure by the trees.
The leaves seem to be
taking longer and longer to fall off.
But you prefer it. Oh absolutely. Yeah I lamented after
my first 500 steps that I wasn't wearing shorts.
I run I run kind of hot so honestly colder would
be better for me but I'm not complaining about 20 degrees.
I'm sure this means a lot and has a lot
There's a lot of implications for climate change
and global warming, but
I think for today it's really nice to enjoy.
You might have heard about this year's Super El Nino.
It's a naturally occurring climate pattern that happens
when parts of the Pacific Ocean
become unusually warm.
And this year it's expected to become exceptionally strong,
potentially one of the strongest on record.
People across Canada and in many other parts
of the world could feel the effects,
and it's not just about temperature.
Depending on where you live, El Nino can bring heavy rainfall
and flooding or drier conditions and drought.
But here's the important thing.
You can't blame all of the weather on El Nino.
It's one of several factors that influence our weather,
alongside longer-term, human-caused climate change.
And while El Nino can influence winter weather patterns,
it doesn't guarantee a warmer winter here in southwestern Ontario.
The pattern itself is expected to reach its peak around December,
so we'll be watching to see what that means for the months ahead.
