Huntsville’s Changing Climate
The climate in Huntsville and the Muskoka Region is changing, and climate change is currently and projected to continue to affect the region in many ways.
In a high emissions scenario, Huntsville’s annual average temperature could go from 4.9 °C to 11.4 °C for the last 30 years of this century. This means the projected change in mean number of +30 °C days could go from 4.7 to 17.4, a change of nearly 13 days. Under a high emissions scenario, the average annual precipitation is projected to be 18% higher for the last 30 years of this century.
Data is from the Climate Data Canada and Climate Atlas of Canada.
The Town continues to recognize the importance of climate action to mitigate and adapt while helping its residents and businesses to become more resilient to the impacts of a changing climate.
