Fall colours could come early, end faster in Ontario due to summer flash floods, experts say | CBC News
Briefly

Extreme rainfall this summer may be causing Ontario trees to experience earlier leaf colour changes, raising concerns about the duration and beauty of fall foliage.
Experts suggest that trees in wetter areas may be stressed from excessive water, leading to earlier leaf senescence, where leaves change color and fall.
Sean Thomas notes that trees already changing colour may indicate stress but also points out a warm spring could contribute to this phenomenon.
The weather conditions in the upcoming weeks will greatly influence the timing and duration of the fall colour spectacle across Ontario.
