WINNIPEG — Summer isn’t officially over yet, but many people are feeling like our best days are behind us.

The outlook for autumn is good, according to Environment Canada.

“We are still forecasting the possibility of warmer than average temperatures from September on to November,” Natalie Hasell said, a Warning Preparedness Meteorologist. “Of course we will still see lows and cold fronts move through the province, but on average the overall trend suggests milder temperatures.”

With El Nino conditions forecasted for the the upcoming winter, that’s good news for many.

But what about those so-called “signs” of fall? Acorns falling from the trees and leaves falling from the trees earlier than normal perhaps?

Hasell adds “these are not necessarily indications of weather patterns.”

The 2016 Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a winter of colder than normal temperatures through the prairies.

The book claims that even with El Nino, they believe it is more likely to be in a “weak to neutral phase”.
