Want to catch some fall colours? Be patient
If you’re keen to catch some of the brightest colours that mother nature has to offer this fall, you’re going to be waiting a bit longer.
CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison says, “Leaves change from mid September all the way through to November.”
While days have been warmer than typical for this time of year, that’s also delayed the onset of some of the brightest colours, “Most of the trees in the area are in the beginning phase of colour change, between 10 - 30 per cent.”
The weather we have right now is projected to have those colours on the rise before long, “Warm dry sunny days followed by cool nights are ideal for colour vibrancy,” says Atchison, “Thanksgiving weekend through the end of October will be prime viewing.”
Here’s your upcoming forecast for London Ont.
