The weather last month was much different in the northern part of Saskatchewan compared to the south.

Southern areas were more dry and warm, while the north was more wet and cool.

According to Environment Canada, the Battlefords, Meadow Lake, and La Ronge each saw one of the wettest Junes in their history.

Regina and the surrounding area only got around 13 mm of rain, while North Battleford, for example, received around 138 mm.

The south was much warmer, averaging around one degree higher than communities farther north.

Moose Jaw averaged the highest average temperature, sitting at 16.8 degrees, while the average temperature in the north was around 15 degrees.

Meanwhile, several tornados also made landfall in June.

This included near Watrous, Wadena, and Foam Lake.
