August was a mixed bag in Saskatoon. Temperatures were perfectly comfortable and enjoyable, but they were also much weaker than normal, especially the nights (including a new daily record low for August 18th with 0.7C, beating out that day's previous record of 2.2C). It really felt more like early fall than late summer, and I typically enjoy those sorts of conditions but having them last through most of August is just a bit too early in the season for my liking. Although this was one of the mildest Augusts I've experienced here temperature-wise, it was by far the most extreme August I've seen in terms of storms. We had numerous thunderstorms throughout the month, including one of the best storms of not just this summer but the last two summers occurring during the third week of the month (well after storm season is usually over), so that was pretty cool. Average high: 23.4C (normal: 24.9C) Average low: 7.5C (normal: 10.3C) Mean temperature: 15.4C (normal: 17.6C) Highest high: 32.8C (August 2nd) Highest low: 15.2C (August 2nd) Lowest high: 17.3C (August 30th) Lowest low: 0.7C (August 18th) Precipitation: 20.3mm (normal: 42.6) Precipitation days: 11 (normal: 9) Highs above 30C: 2 Highs above 25C: 9 Highs above 20C: 26 Highs above 15C: 31 As usual I'll have to wait a few days for the sunshine stats to arrive but I imagine it was probably a bit above average, as this was a mostly dry month despite an unexpected number of storms and felt quite sunny (certainly sunnier than July).  |

A few more from Norway now that summer is officially ended Drammen near Oslo: An ordinary summer, in stark contrast to last year. Wet Aug (155 %), slightly above avg. temps.
Average snow depth in Drammen (recorded each morning): Jan: 18 cm Feb: 36 cm Mar: 20 cm
Bergen temps was very similar to Stavanger in Aug, but Bergen recorded 399.6 mm (210 %) precipitation!
Tromsø recorded 200 sunhrs in Aug, a total of 711 sunhrs in the three summer months.
Svalbard Airport/Longyearbyen: Mean 6.2c (+1.2c compared to 61-90), avg high 8.1c. Coldest low 0.3c. More than 100 consecutive months above average.
Although most of you despising high latitude climates, I have created this weather box for Saltdal 2019 in Arctic Norway. Snow depth recorded each morning.
This was the average depth of the snow pack for the months with snow in Saltdal: January: 35 cm
Feb: 27 cm
Mar: 29 cm Apr: 16 cm Apr 20. last day with snow on the ground, 3 cm.

Saltdal is a nice climate Saltdal is actually extremely similar to Umeå except for June which is colder, and less stable. One of the precipitation stations also has a similar rainfall amount. The other stations have higher rainfall though, and Umeå is undoubtedly a fair bit sunnier. |

Average temperature: 16,6°C (+0,3°C)
Record high: 27,4°C
Record low: 1,9°C
Precipitation: 50 mm (-40%)
Sunshine: 259 h (+11%)
The low precipitation is surprising as the early part of the month was super rainy.

August in Malta was again above average with a couple of heat waves in the first half of the month & another hot spell towards the end. Sunshine was slightly below average due to a few cloudier days which at the end of the month produced some light showers. As usual it was very humid with a couple of Met Office stations recording dew points as high as 31C. Stats from my PWS in St. Paul's Bay: Average High: 33.5C (+1.0C) Average Low: 27.0C (+2.0C) Overall Mean: 30.3C (+1.5C) Highest Max: 35.9C (2nd) Lowest Min : 25.2C (19th) Lowest Max: 30.6C (29th) Highest Min: 29.3C (14th) Rainfall: 0.8mm (13%) Days with Rain: 2 Sunshine: 329.0hrs (91%) Max UV: 10.2 (3rd) Min UV : 7.8 (29th)   |

Saltdal is a nice climate Saltdal is actually extremely similar to Umeå except for June which is colder, and less stable. One of the precipitation stations also has a similar rainfall amount. The other stations have higher rainfall though, and Umeå is undoubtedly a fair bit sunnier. Temperatures seems similar to Umeå. Saltdal has capacity for some very warm extremes for 67N, and this years 34.6c is a record.
Junkerdal (210 m) gets 601 mm precip/year, pretty similar to Umeå. Two other stations are wetter (around 800 mm). However, you forgot the station in the upper part of the valley, Storjord at 81 m ASL, which gets only 291 mm /year. That's only half of Umeå's precipitation, and one of the driest in Norway. That part of the valley has a lot of clear skies due to the microclimate created by mountain ranges. Very strong microclimate as there are a stations west of the mountain range which gets 2000 mm/year. Not that far away.

Precipitation compared to 61-90
100% dead average; Umeå doesn't record rainfall so I had to interpolate between nearby stations, so the 70mm is an estimate.
Can't you just use a nearby station, just like I use (holo)Kaustinen Tastula for Kronoby?

So, the rest of the country. Mainly normal means, or a tad below at most.
Handsome ensoleillement on Utö this year. Normal for the year is 1990 hours. They also seem to like those .9 record highs this year.
Wet at the airport:
The SE was severely cucked this crummer.
Dry crummer in Kuopio, but still cloudier than normal as well.
Then the biggest Chad of them all:
Very cloudy in Rovaniemi, but it gets worse.
Yup, not an error. 64 hours of sunshine. What is that, like 11% of possible? Cloudiest August since 1981 at least.
I wasn't too impressed by the Tampere crummer means and the köppen schmöppen subarctic May, so maybe I'll botev and use the centre UHI station instead:

In summer, rainfall can be very localized. Either way, I use Torrböle, Vännäs and Holmön and take a value somewhere inbetween that seems reasonable. |

Umeå shitport:  While the entire rest of the fucking Nordics were breaking late-august records we had an extremely cold monthly max. Nothing above 22C? Lol. You beat ral31, chesterNZ, and flaminggalah for variability I guess, but they have hot summers. Morningrise had a lower min temp than you did too.
Boregust 2019 Crummary  You're on pace to finish the year with less than 100 mm rain. And the average rainy day this year is only 1.5mm. That's terrible 
Speagles84 wow, wet year so far. Are you close to breaking rainfall records? |

Although most of you despising high latitude climates, I have created this weather box for Saltdal 2019 in Arctic Norway. Snow depth recorded each morning.
This was the average depth of the snow pack for the months with snow in Saltdal: January: 35 cm
Feb: 27 cm
Mar: 29 cm Apr: 16 cm Apr 20. last day with snow on the ground, 3 cm.
That's not a bad climate, except for the slow spring warm-up. Precipitation and snow depth don't make sense. Are they both recorded in the same spot? With that much precipitation, and temperatures below freezing most of the time, the snow depth should be much deeper than that! I think it would be over 100 cm.
Sunshine was slightly below average due to a few cloudier days which at the end of the month produced some light showers. Sunshine: 329.0hrs (91%)What is the average? 91% is already very high sunshine.
Skellefteå is pretty Chad as well, at least in the summer Is Skellefteå further inland? That would explain the warmer summer and colder winter. It looks very good for how far north it is. Decent in summer and except for May, spring warm-up isn't bad. |

Decent in summer and except for May, spring warm-up isn't bad. Skellefteå airport is about 8km from the sea. Umeå airport is about 15km from the sea. Data is only available since 2006. January and July had high/mean/lows of -4.1/-7.9/-11.7 and 21.5/16.7/11.8 compared to Umeå airport's -3.1/-6.9-10.7 and 21.1/16.0/10.8 for 2006-2018 but Skellefteå is especially more prone to heat waves in the summer, possible due to Umeå having the sea to the south and east, compared to north and east for Skellefteå, making warm southerly winds travel over land to Skellefteå and sea to Umeå |
