After a summer of colder temperatures than usual in Nova Scotia, we can expect a warmer and dryer fall than usual.
Fall rolled in at 6:04 a.m. today, ending three months dominated by as much rain and cloud as sun – something News 95.7 meterologist Richard Zurawski says we’ll see more of in the short term.
“I think right now the outlook for fall is to continue what we’ve had these last few weeks,” said Zurawski. “This weekend might be a little on the soggy side, but the temperatures do stay warm. I think we’ll get temperatures close to the mid-twenties, so that still feels like summertime.”
Zurawski says the summer was chilly because of a number of cold fronts that were slow to move north. He says anyone deprived of outdoor activity can make up for with an Indian Summer, noting leaves will stay on the trees for some time.
“We haven’t had a hard frost just yet,” said Zurawski. “So I would say we’re still three or four weeks away from changing leaves.”
Zurawski said it would be nice to have a warmer winter to make up up for our cold summer, but at this point says only that a three-month outlook calls for slightly higher temperatures and slightly less precipitation.
