Summer is forecasted to make a comeback in August, according to meteorologists, as temperatures are expected to reach 30 degrees.
As we move into early August 2025, the weather outlook varies across the globe, with each region experiencing unique conditions. Here's a brief overview of the forecast for Canada, the Philippines, and South Africa.
Canada
The weather in Canada is expected to see a pattern of warmer-than-normal temperatures in many regions, including Ontario to Atlantic Canada and most of British Columbia. Despite this, the weather remains somewhat variable due to occasional cooler air and unstable pressure systems. Summer warmth is expected to persist beyond August 8 and through at least mid-August, with temperature fluctuations typical of this transitional period. The region will also remain watchful for tropical system remnants that could bring precipitation and storms.
The Philippines
The Philippines continues to be influenced by a La Niña condition extending to early 2025, which usually brings above-normal rainfall. While this does not provide a direct temperature prediction for August, expectations are for localized thunderstorms, low-pressure areas, and the southwest monsoon affecting the region. This implies a more unstable weather period with potential rain rather than steady warming or extended hot dry days lasting beyond August 8.
South Africa
As of August 7, 2025, weather reports show heavy rain and hail in several areas, consistent with the end of winter and approaching spring seasonal patterns including cold fronts causing wet conditions. Spring is starting, but temperatures reaching 30 degrees may not be common immediately, and weather remains somewhat unstable in parts of the country at this time.
Across the globe, meteorologists warn that due to the unstable nature of pressure systems, reliable forecasts are difficult to make. The data fed into the models leads to delays, so the forecasts may not be accurate. In Canada, the high-pressure area will initially raise temperatures to 24 degrees, with summer temperatures and plenty of sunshine expected starting from this week. By Friday, temperatures are expected to reach up to 30 degrees across the country. However, in the south, temperatures could reach up to 35 degrees.
In South Africa, starting from Wednesday, the disturbances will clear, making way for a high-pressure area. The situation is expected to improve after Tuesday, but some regions will start Tuesday very friendly, with dark clouds moving in during the afternoon. No statements can be made 24 hours in advance due to the changeable conditions. Nighttime temperatures will not fall below 20 degrees, indicating tropical nights.
For the Philippines and South Africa, where weather instability with rainfall and cooler, variable conditions is more likely, a stable 30-degree stretch may not be probable in this period. It's always essential to stay updated with local weather reports and be prepared for any sudden changes.
Other regions may find it difficult to predict a stable 30-degree weather stretch due to the unpredictability of weather-forecasting, as shown in South Africa and the Philippines. Despite the ongoing La Niña condition in the Philippines, the weather-forecasting suggests localized thunderstorms and a more unstable weather period.
