November was cooler and slightly wetter than the 30-year climate normal (1981-2010). All that cold air made for a more of a snowy month rather than rainy one, especially in the north. In fact, November 2019 was very similar to November 2018 for many areas (but not all) of the province.
For the month as a whole, October was warmer (+0.8 C) and wetter (119%) than the 30-year climate normal (1981-2010).
September was cooler and wetter than the 30-year climate normal (1981-2010).
In terms of temperature, the average anomaly for the province was -1.1C below normal. The abundant precipitation was largely from two events: post-tropical storm Dorian on the 7th and a Great Lakes/tropical moisture merge on the 24th.
Climatologically speaking, August was pretty uneventful; that is, until Erin arrived at the end of the month and brought some much needed moisture to the area. Erin dumped enough moisture to push the total precipitation anomaly above average across the south, however, the north remained dry and below average (based on 30-year climatology (1981-2010)). In terms of temperature, the average anomaly for the province was normal (0.0C).
When hurricanes or tropical storms threaten, The Hurricane Watch Net activates on 14.325 MHz and 7.268 MHz, and will use either or both of these frequencies as propagation allows.
For those who wish to monitor on HF radio, you can get information about the current status of the Hurricane Watch Net, via their website.
July 2019 was drier and slightly warmer than long-term climate normals (1981-2010). See all the details in the attached final report for July and an outlook for August.

June was fairly similar to May, except not quite as cold but still below long-term climate normals (1981-2010). Precipitation varied from dry in the north, to wet in the south as it did in May 2019.

You are correct if you thought April 2019 was rather gloomy. April 2019 was cooler and wetter than the 30-year average (1981-2010). A number of stations were in the top 4 for wettest April and it was the first time in many years that we did not reach 20˚C in the month of April.
