Warm September

September proved to be a warm one in the Fort Frances area.

Environment Canada says the average temperature for the month was 15-point-5 degrees, the warmest since 2004.

Climatologist Geoff Coulson says temperatures nearly match those for August.

"If we look back the average August temperature for Fort Frances is 17.4 degrees Celsius," says Coulson. "We we're a little big cooler for a standard August but our temperature were a little closer for August than what they should have been for September."

Coulson says temperatures were also nearly 3 degrees higher than normal for September.
