There will be no return to 20 degree weather this fall. That’s according to the Weather Network, which has released it’s fall forecast and predictions for the winter. Meteorologist Brad Rousseau says Saskatchewan had an abrupt turn from summer to much colder temperatures, and a return to less of a rollercoaster up and down the thermometer won’t happen until mid-October.
Then, we can expect more seasonal to even slightly above seasonal temperatures. The average temperature drops by more than 2 degrees per week during the fall across Saskatchewan, so the chances those above seasonal temperatures will hit 20 in October are pretty slim. Rousseau expects near to slightly below normal precipitation, including both rain and snow, for the fall season. The winter forecast is for a near normal temperatures, although it’s a bit early to tell. Rousseau says an El Nino weather system could be forming in the pacific, but it’s not for sure yet. If it does, that would mean near normal to possibly a bit above seasonal temperatures and precipitation slightly below normal.
