As the fall season marks its beginning in the USA, residents reel under record breaking hottest temperatures, unlike for this period. After a relatively cool summer, heat wave has engulfed the U.S. and Canadian High Plains, taking temperatures close to 100°F for many parts of the country.
Places like Montana, Wyoming, Western North Dakota, and the south-central Canadian Plains saw record breaking levels as the temperatures soared.
Terry and Wasta recorded the hottest temperature of 98°F last week followed by parts of Montana and North Dakota that observed temperature of 97°F for the fall season. Moreover, Montana observed warmer than normal temperature which is unlike for mid-summer season.
Western North Dakota also entered record-heat territory on the 25th September with 97°F.
The hot temperature of 92°F in Rapid City left the residents appalled at the drastic alteration of weather since the city just witnessed its earliest snowfall on record with a 1.6” accumulation on September 11th.
Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan reached 91.6°F which was the hottest temperature measured so far this year in the city.
Swan River observed the temperature of 90°F on September 26th in comparison to average temperature of 60°F for the same date.
However, in the coming days, rain is expected that will eventually wipe out the hot and inclement weather.
