Workweek Outlook: August wrap up

Despite the warm start to the month of August, we will see this month enter the record books as pretty close to normal.

Only a handful of days didn't reach the normal daytime highs, but typical daily temperatures were usually only a couple degrees above the long-term average values in the low 20s.

With only a few days left in the month, it appears overall monthly temperatures average will be about a degree or two above normal.

Rainfall amounts are already 20mm above typical August amounts of 84mm but nearly half of the month's rain came on one day, on Aug. 20.

We usually see 11 rain days this month and with ten already in the books and one forecast this week we will likely see the month end with what usually happens each August.

Monday will be the warmest day of the week. Daytime highs will climb into the mid-20s, but higher humidity will make it feel more like +30C. A chance of thunderstorms moves in overnight.

Tuesday will be a transition day as winds slowly come around to the northwest.

There will be a risk of rain in the early morning followed by clouds that slowly begin to clear later in the day. Daytime highs will be in the low 20s.

Wednesday through to Friday will see near normal temperatures for early September with afternoon highs a degree or two above +20C.

This seasonal weather will be accompanied by sunny skies that will continue into the start of the upcoming weekend.
