It seems like Wiarton Willie's prediction for an "early spring" may not have been on the mark, as it doesn't feel like spring has really sprung this year, and it's looking like Ontarians could see sweater weather for at least a few more weeks.

According to The Weather Network, it is unlikely that the province will experience any consistent warmth in May, with temperatures expected to float below seasonal.

"The triggers for a colder pattern will be fading and that gives us the potential for several days of warmer weather. However, at this point we don't see any support for locking into a consistent warmer than normal pattern," Dr. Doug Gillham, TWN Meteorologist, said.

TWN says that even though mid- and late-May will likely see cooler days, temperatures won't be "far off" from seasonal and will steadily climb throughout the month.

"The second half of the month we are still going to see that lingering blocking pattern, but remember, our standards are going to be rising through the month of May, so by the time we get to the end of the month, we'll actually be expecting temperatures to be around 20 degrees," Kevin Mackay, TWN meteorologist, added.

TWN says that May's cooler weather will be made up for by the end of the month, when "we will be knocking on the door of early summer."

The province will also be into its longest days of 2022.

So, in conclusion, things will be far from perfect, but at least slightly better than last month.
