WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT WE HAD FLOODS IN ONTARIO DURING AUGUST?

 Climate change it is. We are forecast to be having more rainy and cool weather in Ontario and possibly warmer winters than usual and it is already happening. I do not recall a July and August as wet as this one. My basement sump pump is always bone dry from mid June until September but that sure hasn't occurred this year. April and May were drier than usual and July and August far wetter. In fact last summer we had crop losses in southern Ontario from lack of rain. This year it's floods. The good news is that the trees on the boulevards planted in the last five to seven years aren't suffering this summer. I have in the past watered them when things got really dry. Not this summer at all.
