Stormy June soaks northern Ontario, shatters rainfall records
That's more than the previous record of 216.1 mm set in 1984 and nearly three times the city's June rainfall average of 80.4 mm.
CHECK OUT:
In short, Timmins saw nearly three months' worth of rain in just 30 days.
The rainiest days of the month came near the end. June 27 had the most rainfall with 64.5 mm, followed by June 21 with 51 mm and June 23 with 34.2 mm.
Together, those three days accounted for 69 per cent of the month's rainfall.
MUST SEE:
A persistently active storm track across northwestern Ontario powered the soggy trend, bringing multiple rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the area.
Other parts of Ontario had their umbrellas working overtime too:
North Bay: 160 mm
Thunder Bay: 116 mm
Moosonee: 110 mm
Sudbury: 77 mm
Pickle Lake: 76 mm
Kenora: 63 mm
Dryden: 46 mm
SEE ALSO:
Whether it was record-breaking or just relentless, June certainly made a splash—and Ontario's already soaked lawns may need some time to dry out.

U.S. notches 1,000 tornadoes in 2025, how does Canada compare?
Tornado season is underway across Canada after a very active start south of the border. The U.S. has seen more than 1,000 confirmed tornadoes so far in 2025, making this the country's busiest tornado season to date since the historic outbreaks of 2011. Canada, on the other hand, has only seen 25 confirmed tornadoes through early July—the slowest start to the season in seven years. DON'T MISS: The U.S. Storm Prediction Center (SPC) received about 1,300 preliminary reports of tornadoes this year through July 3, which far outpaces the normal of about 950 tornado reports the country would normally see through this point in the year. Forecasters conducting ground surveys confirmed at least 1,029 tornadoes by the start of July, which is the highest number of confirmed tornadoes to date since the repeated and historic outbreaks of 2011. Most of those tornadoes occurred in several large outbreaks. Five especially destructive twisters received high-end EF-4 ratings on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. This year's tornadoes have killed at least 68 people, which already exceeds the 57 tornado fatalities reported across the U.S. in 2024. Robust low-pressure systems that produce tornadoes across the U.S. in the spring start to move north of the border as the jet stream jogs north with the onset of summer. The vast majority of Canada's tornadoes touch down during the summer months, with July featuring about 35 per cent of the 65 tornadoes we see across the country in an average year. Canada has only seen 25 confirmed tornadoes as of July 3, which is the lowest total we've seen by this point in the year since 2018. Nearly half of this year's tornadoes have occurred in Saskatchewan, with the rest touching down from central British Columbia to eastern Quebec. Despite the slow start to the season, we still have two long months remaining in the peak of Canada's tornado season. Make sure you always know where to go and what to do if a tornado warning is issued—whether you're at home, work, or on the road. Header image created using graphics and imagery from Canva.

Tracking scattered t-storms, summer heat
Widely scattered thunderstorms will continue to fire across parts of Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas Saturday afternoon and evening, as a front passes through the region. A few storms may produce gusty winds, heavy rain, and small hail. Partly cloudy skies, and a 40% chance of t-storms will linger into the overnight hours, with mid 80s before sunset giving way to lows in the mid to lower 70s. Breezy southwest winds at 10-15 mph will become light after midnight. Rain and thunderstorm chances will fall to around 20% Sunday and Monday, with seasonably hot temperatures lingering as highs remain in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. Several more opportunities for thunderstorm activity are expected to build into the area by the middle of next week, as an active pattern returns to the region.

Pinpoint Weather: Tropical Storm Chantal to bring some rain tomorrow
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Tropical Storm Chantal will be moving inland and over the Carolinas during the next 24-36 hours which will influence our weather and increase rain chances for some tomorrow. Some areas of patchy fog will be possible tonight, mainly in the valleys west of the Blue Ridge. Low temperatures will range from the upper 50s to mid 60s. Tomorrow will begin to feel a bit more humid as dewpoints rise with high temperatures in the 80s. The morning will be dry as high clouds on the outskirts of Chantal stream in from the south. Into the afternoon, showers and a few storms will be possible with the outer bands moving in from the south along and east of the Blue Ridge into the Piedmont. Overall rainfall amounts will be modest with up to 1″ through Monday possible over far southeastern portions of our area. The heaviest will remain to the south over the Carolinas. Showers remain possible into the night as well for eastern areas. As what is left of Chantal moves away Monday, a frontal boundary from the northwest will approach and will likely stall out near or over the area. This will return the chance for daily showers and storms across the region through most of the week. Temperatures will remain warm and hot in the mid 80s to lower 90s. Humidity will be elevated which will increase the heat index values to the upper 90s near 100 degrees east of the Blue Ridge by mid-week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
