This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies from the middle
of June through to the middle of July compared to long-term averages. The hot, dry weather we have seen
across much of agricultural Manitoba over the last couple of weeks is evident on the map with a good portion
of our region seeing less-than-average amounts of rain and some areas are becoming very dry. Farther west
much of Saskatchewan and Alberta continue to be wet.
