Sunshine, heat and high pressure dominates the land!
August 2017
Saskatoon saw our fourth-straight above normal month in August with temperatures topping out 0.2 degrees warmer than average.
The heat was really felt during the day, with daytime highs just over a degree above normal, meantime morning lows were actually just over half a degree colder than normal.
It was also a very dry August with only 59 per cent of our normal precipitation falling throughout the month, most of it falling in thunderstorms and rain during the first part of the month.

Wednesday
After starting off the school year barely above freeing Tuesday, it was a milder start to the second day of school – with temperatures only dipping back to 6 degrees around 7 a.m.
Mostly sunny skies dominated the first half of the day, which helped warm us up into the low 20s before noon.
The heat continued to funnel in during the afternoon with the sunshine helping warm up to a daytime high of 30 degrees, our 14th 30 degree day of the year.
Tonight
Clear skies stick around tonight as we dip back to a low a few degrees into single digits.
Thursday
Pure blue skies and sunshine will be back in full force on Thursday as an upper ridge of high pressure keeps us in the heat!
As such, we should warm up to an afternoon high in the upper 20s.
Friday
Another beautiful day filled with nothing but sunshine will round off the first week of school on Friday.
This time we get into the heart of the heat with a breezy southerly wind kicking in and helping boost us up into the 30s for an afternoon high!
Weekend Outlook
A system sliding by to the north of us on Saturday will filter through a few clouds on Saturday and is likely to keep us in 30 degree heat before the associated cold front crashes through Sunday and dips us back into the mid 20s with more clouds and breezy northwesterly wind.
