We’re headed into a warm and dry fall

Environment Canada’s Senior Climatologist said we’re in for a warm and dry fall.

Dave Phillips said all the models agree, we’ll see temperatures a degree or two better than normal.

Phillips tells the Hawk that doesn’t mean every day will be nice.

“The kind of thing where you’d get one or two days of this kind of weather, and then you’re back into one or two days of inclement weather, and then back into the good weather,” he said. “It’s back and forth.”

He said you ought to take advantage of the good fall days when we get them.

Phillips said it’ll be an active fall weather-wise, so you shouldn’t wait on nice days.

“I don’t think we’ve necessarily seen the end of the tropical storms and we’re, probably now, not at the peak of the season, maybe just a little beyond the peak of the season,” he said. “Nevertheless, that is something that people in Atlantic Canada have to pay attention to.”

There have been 15 named storms so far.

Fall began Wednesday.
