For people camping at Craven, or elsewhere, it was a chilly start to the weekend in parts of southern Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada meteorologist Jean Theriault (TERR-ee-oh) says Regina broke the record cold temperature for July 11.
“3.1 recorded this morning, the previous record was 3.9, an old one, recorded in 1917,” Theriault said Saturday morning. Estevan also set a new record, but Theriault couldn’t confirm if there were any otherse.
Theriault says overnight lows and daytime highs should be around normal in the coming days, but adds that much of Canada has been experiencing a cold-weather pattern.
“It looks like things are not really changing, it’s the same pattern,” he says. “Cold lows that aren’t really moving, and staying over parts of the country for weeks at a time.
“And the pattern is not changing yet, so we’ll have to be patient.”
