There have been severe flooding problems in many parts of Saskatchewan and the worst may be yet to come. However, we’ve actually been lucky with the weather over the past couple months.

Temperatures throughout March were much colder than normal, slowing the snow melt. That has continued into April with most days cooler than average for this time of year. The cool weather means a late spring, but it has probably prevented some damage.

Precipitation has also been kind to most of the province. Precipitation maps published by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada show that over the past month, only southern regions of Saskatchewan have received above normal precipitation.
