It’s official. September was a cool, wet month in Winnipeg.
Daily mean temperatures were 2° Celsius cooler than normal and 4° cooler than September last year.
We had more than twice the normal amount of rain during the month and when you compare it to our summer rainfall, September saw almost as much rain as the three previous months combined: 138mm fell in June, July, and August all told, compared to 115.3mm in September alone.
There were some other interesting stats regarding the cool, wet month. Check out what meteorologist @robsobs (twitter) was able to dig up.
October appears to be carrying on where September left off.
You may have enjoyed the weather on Saturday afternoon with a high of 10.2° C but that’s probably because it was only the second time in a week that temperatures got over 10° C. And that’s still below normal for this time of year.
Right now the average temperatures are from 3° C in the morning to 14° C in the afternoon.
Generally, the first week of October will be cloudy and cool. There’s also more rain on the way.
We can expect the rain to start up around Tuesday afternoon to stay with us through most of Wednesday. During the rainy Wednesday though, temperatures will likely stay flat and then start to fall in the afternoon. As temperatures fall into the evening hours, there is a chance the rain may change into snow.
While the rainfall/snowfall models vary a bit in total amounts, it looks like up to 20mm of precipitation could fall as a combination of rain and snow. We’re also likely to see a bit more rain before the long weekend.
