October temperatures in the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District were slightly above normal while precipitation remained low.
That’s according to Environment Canada, adding the mean temperature was 0.3 degrees warmer than average at 4.7 degrees.
“Precipitation itself, we got a total of 34.1 millimetres and the normal would have been 66.3 millimetres,” said Meteorologist Derek Lee.
The same month last year, average temperatures were similar at 4.8 degrees with 60 millimetres of precipitation.
“It’s pretty normal for this time of year to get less precipitation. The reasoning for this month in particular getting less precipitation was we were getting a lot more wind with the coast,” said Lee.
He added the start of November is expected to be normal with both snow and rain possible.
“Towards the end of November, we are seeing a little bit of a trend below normal temperatures so I would say there might be confidence then we will be feeling a little chillier,” Lee said.
For Remembrance Day, rain is possible as temperatures reach a high between three and five degrees.
