“We had a little bit more cloud than we thought, and I think that’s kept the frost away,” said Senior Climatologist David Phillips.
Phillips said on the Greg Morgan Morning Show that it is time to think about frost.

“You kind of have to think about the F word, because typically in Regina, you get the first frost around the 11th or 12th of September, last year you went to see it early October.”
Despite that, Phillips said windy weather is expected on Thursday in Regina, with gusts up to 80 km/h, and in Saskatoon, with gusts up to 70 km/h.
“Then after that, really beautiful weather, great harvest weather.”
Phillips said in the coming days, temperature lows are expected to be well above zero, at around nine or 10 degrees Celsius, with afternoons around 24 C, which is about four degrees warmer than usual.
“If we look at — September, October, November — the fall period, we’re showing it to be warmer than normal; not July warm, this is the fall,” he said.
“September looks more like summer than winter. October, kind of the transition, and November, I think we’re going to still say milder than normal.”
“So I think you’re in for a stretch of some pretty good weather, and I’m sure the combines are going to go morning, noon, and night.”
Phillips said that with the frost coming later, the snow will also come later.
“Will we have snow on the pumpkin? Well, maybe not because we didn’t get it (snow) until after the middle of November, so there are some small mercies there.”
