-30 wind chills move in, followed by snow to start our Tuesday.
Fall 2017
Meteorological fall contains the months of September, October and November, and in Saskatoon, it was slightly drier and colder than normal.
Temperatures trended around 0.37 degrees colder than normal throughout the month, thanks to a well below normal November that followed a warmer than normal September and October.
Most of that was on the overnight low end of the scale, which trended nearly one degree colder than normal, which is very significant when averaging out over 90 days of data.
Daytime highs actually averaged out a tenth of a degree warmer than normal.
Precipitation-wise, we had 61 millimetres of rain and melted snow reported at the airport, when normally the three month period reports 67.2 millimetres.
