A couple of cold fronts are set to move across Atlantic Canada in the coming days. These systems will bring showers and thunderstorms, with isolated areas experiencing heavy downpours. Some temporary and localized relief from the ongoing dry conditions is expected; however, rainfall amounts will fall short of addressing the broader precipitation deficit in most regions. Much of the Maritimes have received less than 40 per cent of their average summer rainfall, resulting in extremely dry conditions and heightened fire danger. Recent heat waves have also set multiple monthly and all-time temperature records across the region. The intense heat across the Maritimes is coming to an end. While most regions will remain warm on Thursday and Friday, with highs in the mid to upper 20s, a cold front is set to deliver some relief in the form of rain.
