After the coldest summer on record, some warmer weather finally arrived in September over Southern Manitoba, finally ending a 5 month string of below normal temperatures. The mean monthly temperature of 14.6C was over 2 degrees above normal, with only 5 days of below normal temperatures during the month. The month featured several warm days, including the hottest temperature of the year when the mercury hit a record high 31C on September 19th. This was in stark contrast to August which saw below normal temperatures every day of the month, and no days climbing above 26C. In addition, no freezing temperatures were recorded during September, which allowed a much needed extension to this year's dismal growing season. Precipitation was above normal thanks in part to several heavy rainfall events through mid month. Precipitation totalled 73 mm for the month, some 21 mm above normal. This has resulted in further delays in the already belated harvest this season due to wet field conditions. All in all, a pleasant month after a miserable summer.
