After the driest March on record in parts of Saskatchewan, April showers are on the way.
March 2019
It was the driest March ever recorded in Regina with only four per cent of the normal precipitation falling during the month.
In Saskatoon, it was the eighth driest, with only 17 per cent of the normal precipitation falling throughout the month.
March 2019 ended up trending slightly colder than normal because the first 11 days of the month were significantly below average.
March 12 began a streak of warm days that lasted until the end of the month, but they weren’t enough to push the overall trend above normal.
