For many generations, the Almanac has been found in many homes as a general guide to what we can expect to see with its long-term forecast.
The Old Farmer's Almanac with its yellow cover has been published continuously every September since 1792.
Taking a look at the Canadian edition it is predicting some moisture for what has been some of the drier areas in the Prairies this fall.
Managing Editor Jack Burnett says they're predicting average temperatures for September with temperatures a little bit (about four degrees) warmer in October.
"As far as precipitation goes. In Manitoba and Eastern Saskatchewan, we expect September could be about average. However, in western Saskatchewan and Alberta, we expect it to be wetter by about 70 millimeters, that's in September. In October, we're looking for the overall precipitation for the prairies to be about 10 millimeters below normal. November December, I have kind of the same profile, which is colder and wetter."
