The month of August was warm and dry in the Dryden area.
Bill Laidlaw of Signal Weather Services says the average temperature was 18.8-degrees, 1.4-degrees above normal.
Laidlaw says it was the seventh warmest August, and summer, since 2000.
The warmest day was on the 13th at 32.9, while the coldest day was 7-degrees on the 28th.
Laidlaw adds we only saw a total of seven days of rain in August, for a total of 37.8-millimetres, which is less than half of our normal totals.
