08Editor's notes

What the numbers don't tell you

July is hot and humid, with afternoons around 27 °C, Canada Day fireworks on 1 July, the Caribbean Carnival building through the month and the islands, beaches and patios at full capacity. It is peak season for hotels. Heat warnings happen; the lake breeze helps near the waterfront. Rain falls on about ten days, as thunderstorms. The Toronto Fringe fills the first two weeks.

The Honda Indy at Exhibition Place in mid-July closes the Lakeshore. The Beaches International Jazz Festival fills the last week. The Islands are busiest at weekends; the Ward's Island ferry is the quiet route. Daylight lasts until nearly nine. For the Caribbean Carnival parade, the CNE and the Civic Holiday, see August.
