NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
With the onset of shorter days and cooler temperatures, weather conditions will tend to become more changeable in this seven week period. Pleasant, relatively mild conditions in September will give way to frequent cooler, wetter outbreaks in October resulting in near normal temperatures and precipitation over most of Canada. Computer models suggest some lingering warmth in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec with occasional storminess in the Atlantic provinces. Frost will arrive on the Prairies in September while snow makes its first appearance in the far north. Similar weather will spread to many areas of the country in October. Early indications point to an emerging El Nio but its warming effects on Canada are not likely to be felt until later in the year.
