Generally dry and cool.. To the relief of many residents of Southern Manitoba, August 2005 finally marked an end to the wet and stormy conditions that characterized much of June and July. There were only 3 days with rain over 5 mm, and the monthly total of 36.6 mm was about half of the average August rainfall. This allowed Red River levels to continue to drop in southern Manitoba, and a general drying out out of soil conditions. Temperatures for the month were generally on the cool side after a hot start to the month that saw temperatures over 30 degrees on 5 of the first 7 days. After the 9th, there were only 3 days that reached the 25 degree mark, with daily highs generally in the upper teens and low 20s. All in all... a quiet end to summer in Southern Manitoba.
