Summer 2017 is likely to usher in slightly above-normal temperatures, along with fewer wildfires, but more mosquitoes.
Dave Phillips, a senior climatologist at Environment Canada said this summer won't be as warm as last year, but the weather will warm up 'when it counts'.
"We think we're owed a good season and I think nature will come through for us," Phillips said.
Phillips added that will be in late June and into July and August and that 'generally speaking, it looks pretty positive'.
CTV asked people in Sudbury if they've noticed more mosquitoes so far this year.
"The mosquitoes and black flies haven't been so bad here. We have a cottage down south and for two weekends in a row we had black flies, so we kept ourselves masked, but I keep myself moving fast enough that neither the mosquitoes or black flies can catch me!"
"I find we do. They are worse at night obviously, the kids are definitely coming in full of mosquito bites."
"I haven't had one yet this year, at all, none what so ever, but they say they are going to be in hoards. Lots of mosquitoes this summer."
"The weather, we haven't got the spring weather. It's been delayed for about three weeks I guess, so they haven't been too bad yet."
"I am not sure there was a cold snap where there was the hail, and lots of snow and the it went away and the bugs are not around. "
Phillips said Canadians should be ready for what he called 'a rocking and rolling summer of weather'.
In terms of wildfire risks, Phillips says the summer will be nothing like last year, when flames ravaged Western Canada and destroyed much of Fort McMurray.
"We're in better shape," he said, citing a wet spring as the best protection against fires. "The forests have been able to green up, and we haven't seen the problem of forest fires."
He added that summers have been gradually warming up over the last 70 years due to climate change. "We're still the great white cold north," he said. "It still is great, but not as white or as cold as we were."
