Dating back more than 110 years, last month was the third wettest May Dauphin has seen for more than a century.
Over the course of May, 129.5 millimetres of rain fell, making it the third wettest May since 1911, according to Environment Canada and Climate Change. May of 2010 was the wettest May dating back to 1911 as 170.2 millimetres of rain fell in Dauphin that month. Back in May of 1943, 138.9 millimetres of rain fell in Dauphin.
While May was full of showers, the weather has taken a turn for the best, at least for the next handful of days. The next two days are all full of sun before a 60% chance of showers arrives in time for Thursday. Clouds are in the forecast for Friday before the sun returns Saturday and Sunday.
Natalie Hasell with Environment Canada does say; however, that's when things could take a turn the other way.
"Showers or thunderstorms could be expected Sunday evening and leading up to next week for a few days," said Hasell. "We will then get a little bit of a break for a couple of days before some wet weather could return leading up to next weekend."
The average temperature for this time of the year is about 22 degrees Celcius and Natalie says, for the most part, seasonal temperatures are expected for the entire summer with plenty of sun mixed with some more wet weather. For now, though, it's time to enjoy the sunny days.
