Environment and Climate Change Canada kept track of the temperatures and rainfall levels over the summer, collecting all that data to compare some of the recent conditions to years past.
Meteorologist Crawford Luke says that they look at the past three months to sum up their meteorological summer.
"We kind of define our seasons from June 1st through August 31st. It just kind of makes for neater housekeeping when it comes to climate data and stuff."
"It was really the dry June that kind of dominates these stats. Because by the time we got to July and August, we were much closer to normal, both those months for rain. But June was quite dry."
"So overall, for the summer, we would typically expect 198 millimetres of rain. This year, we had 129 millimetres. So that ranks as kind of our 20th driest summer on record. So not in the top five or anything like that."
Luke says the stats as a whole don't reflect the full month-to-month.
"It was all kind of because of how dry June was, if you think back to there. So that kind of skews the stats for the season, if you will, because July and August were much closer to normal."
The temperature was similarly normal, just a few fractions of a degree off the normal.
"Temperature, kind of a similar idea as before, fairly close to normal. So the long-term average temperature for those three months was 17.9 degrees. This year, we saw 18.1. So we're actually like pretty much bang on for temperature this summer."
Fall has so far been below normal thanks to a recent cold front, but temperatures are expected to pick back up on the weekend.
