So, maybe after last week’s social media roundup, you went ahead and joined Twitter and even followed @weathernetwork.
Now what?
How about you get acquainted with some of our on-camera presenters?
They would love to get acquainted with you!
The changeability of Canadian weather provides ample opportunities for fun interaction – for example, Weather Network Alberta presenter Sheryl Plouffe and reporter Kelsey McEwen asking to see pictures of your cutest rain boots:

If you’re a fan of the national morning show, then you know that Chris Murphy loves to feature your tweets on TV. This week, he wanted photographic evidence of your “Big Fish” stories.
Last call! I've got room to squeeze maybe 2 or 3 more of your fav #fishing memory photos to air this Friday am on @weathernetwork!!

The east heats up
As temperatures rose into the high 20s and Humidex values made it feel closer to the mid-30s across Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, talk turned to beating the heat – and possibly tearing the month of June out of the calendar and skipping straight to July.
So, who caved and turned on their A/C today?

(I caved – for the comfort of my cats, I swear!)
@weathernetwork #toronto heat is making me woozy today, hoping summer is not as humid as last year

And for our friends in the west who have been dealing with heavy rain and cool temperatures, don’t worry:
Toronto’s Don Valley Swimming Pool
This week, the legendary “Don Valley Parking Lot” was temporarily transformed into the Don Valley Swimming Pool thanks to a powerful thunderstorm that dumped between 60-70 mm of rain on Toronto just in time for the morning rush.

Interestingly, this occurred almost a year to the day that Toronto shut down due to another weather-related transportation nightmare: the flooding of Union Station.
