Temperature records fell across Manitoba on Monday.

Danielle Desjardins with Environment Canada says much of the Prairies has been under the influence of an upper ridge for most of October and even stretches of September. This culminated Monday with record breaking weather.

Desjardins says eight different locations in Manitoba broke temperature records on Monday. They are:

Desjardins says Tuesday will be a return to normal conditions as a low-pressure system tracks through the Prairies. She notes an associated cold front with that system will bring rain today, ending the stretch of unseasonably mild weather.

According to Desjardins, southern Manitoba could see between five and 10 millimetres of rain on Tuesday. 

But, after today, Desjardins says we should hit a dry pattern again and each day the rest of this week looks to be slightly warmer than normal with highs ranging from 10 to 15 degrees. 

Meanwhile, Desjardins says it looks like we might make it through the month of October without any snow. She says the long-range forecast currently shows none of the white stuff before Halloween.
