It was an unseasonably hot, summer-like week in Ottawa. But it didn't just feel like summer in the capital — it looked like it, too."It's very green. We're not seeing those vibrant colours that we normally see in the fall, with a few exceptions here and there," said Paul Sokoloff, a senior research assistant in botany at the Canadian Museum of Nature, in an interview with CBC Radio'sof Environment Canada records, at 30.
Cooler weather is another a big cue. Vibrant reds in particular flourish with sunny days and cool nights, and cool nights have been in short supply so far this fall. Cities full of concrete, roads, stone and brick retain more heat, so it's no surprise for colours to be duller there."The wonderful thing about evolution is ... within a species, every tree is a little different. And so some trees are going to react slightly differently than others. And some trees might have different water than others, etcetera," Sokoloff said.
