IT MAY have been rainy
the last while but the con-
tinuing temperatures for the |
fall should be above normal,
says an Environment Cana-
da weather expert.

. Bill Miller, who is based
in Whitehorse, says precipi-
tation should be about nor-
mal as the fall moves on.

The fall prediction comes .
after an August that featured
an average temperature of
17.1 C or .8 degrees above
normal. . .

. There were three days
where the temperature ex-
ceeded 30 degrees with
one of those days, Aug. 13, ;
reaching 22.4 C, making — a a i
it the warmest day of the a - .
month. That also tied. a re-
cords for that day stretching
back to 1977.

There were 16 days with
measurable rainfall, three 7% |
