Flowers flourish in Moncton despite light frost
September is often one of the most glorious months of the year in New Brunswick – with warm days and cool nights – and is usually one of the driest months of the year.
However, this year in Greater Moncton, the nights were a little too cool with low single digits almost nightly and a light frost on the 17th when the temperature dipped slightly below zero.
Daytime highs were comfortable for the most part but no real heat especially when compared to Western Canada where temperatures soared into the 30’s C throughout the month.
Precipitation was light and would have been well below normal had it not been for heavy rain on the 25th, 28th and 29th.
