It's the first week of fall, but it's going to feel a lot like summer this week.
Temperature highs are expected to reach the high 20's over the next few days.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Terri Lang explains that we will experience a warmup after a couple of cooler days.
“A big ridge of pressure moving in from the west, which is often the case, because we have sort of a weather system hitting the BC coast and what that tends to do is bump up the ridge over top of Saskatchewan and gives us the nice dry weather.”
The average high for this time of year is 15 degrees with a low of 3 degrees, but Lang says it’s not too uncommon for summer like weather to reappear during the autumn season.
“A look at the record temperatures for the days has indicated that this happened before, I don’t think we think we’ll break any records, but it will be a stretch.”
Lang also noted that frost hasn’t occurred in the region so far, another sign of warm temperatures this month.
