A quote from Jeremy Welter, farmer In a recent report, the Saskatchewan Water Safety Agency says soil moisture is below the seasonal average in parts of the province as winter slowly sets in. This is due to the hot and dry temperatures recorded during the summer and fall this year. The climatologist with Environment and Change Climate Canada David Phillips says a day when temperatures of -22 are recorded can be considered a very cold day in November. The thermometer has not yet dropped to this level in the cities of Regina and Saskatoon so far. David Phillips says the temperatures recorded in recent weeks are not surprising, as Saskatchewan has been dealing with this phenomenon for some time. This We have been seeing these temperatures for between 3 and 5 years, he estimates. He adds that the amount of precipitation has not stopped decline over the last five years. David Phillips indicates, however, that all is not yet lost, because the precipitation recorded during the period from March to November accounts for only 19% of total annual precipitation. You won't lose your harvest in November if you don't have moisture . There's still time to recover, he says. With information from Tyreike Reid
