Warm August


There were few records, but Environment Canada says August was a little warmer than usual in the Fort Frances

Meteorologist Geoff Coulson says the average temperature for the month reached 18.6 degrees, putting it a full degree about the norm.

"Of note this was the warmest August since 2003," says Coulson. "So temperature was the biggest story for the month of August in the Fort Frances area."

A total of 87 millimetres of precipitation was also recorded, about 10 millimetres below the average.
