Environment Canada has closed the book on this year's meteorological fall, even if there's still some warm weather in the forecast.

The meteorological fall consists of September, October, and November.

Those three months often see falling temperatures from the summer, with some precipitation which can manifest as snow.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Terri Lang says that temperatures were on the warmer side for the western part of the country.

"The fall came out above average for all of Western Canada and the further north you went, the more above average it actually was."

The average temperature for Estevan over the fall was 6.3 degrees, warmer than the 30-year average of 4.5 degrees.

That made this year's fall the 17th warmest in the last 99 years of records, coming out 1.8 degrees above average.

The Estevan area meanwhile was an outlier in terms of precipitation compared to the rest of the west.

"With respect to precipitation, Estevan fared better than other places," said Lang, "Kind of caught a few more storms than some of the other places because most of western Canada was very, very dry."

That total came out to 72.4 millimetres, which was still behind the 30-year average of 81.6.

Estevan came away with the 43rd driest year out of 95 years, having 89 per cent of average precipitation.
