Daytime temperatures were about one degree cooler than normal over much of central and southern Saskatchewan during the three month period covering June, July and August.
“Everybody was colder across the board, but nothing record setting,” said Terri Lang, an Environment Canada meteorologist.
It was a different story in northern Saskatchewan, where Key Lake was 2.2 degrees colder than normal. It was the coldest June/July/August period in 42 year of weather data.
Summer precipitation values ranged from below normal to above normal depending on location.
Environment Canada also released monthly statistics for August. Temperatures were about two degrees below normal in most areas, but precipitation varied. There were larger amounts across southern and northern Saskatchewan, with below average rainfall over central regions.
