The Weather Network is forecasting a warm summer for most of Saskatchewan, though temperatures aren’t expected to be too hot.
But there will be periods of cool weather at times, and temperatures are predicted to trend closer to seasonal across the northeast region of the province, according to Weather Network’s 2016 summer forecast, which covers the months of June, July and August.
Rainfall is expected to be near normal across much of Saskatchewan, except for the northern portion of the province, where precipitation is predicted to be below normal.
“In areas that have warmer than normal temperatures, even ‘normal’ rainfall can be inadequate to avoid dry conditions with the threat for wildfires and impacts to agriculture,” the Weather Network said.
“Two of the areas where we are especially concerned about dry conditions are northern Alberta and Saskatchewan, where precipitation deficits from the winter and spring will be difficult to overcome.”
