It wasn't like the month of July in the Foothills when it came to moisture content but it was definitely more wet than dry.

For the first part of the month it looked more of the same but thanks to some warm weather to close out August it's kind of felt like summer again.

Meteorologist with Environment Canada Kirk Thorneby says the amount of moisture was still substantial though.

"The early part of August was quite wet," he says. "We saw 56 millimetres which is above average, it looks like it's upwards towards 150 percent of normal in terms of precipitation for areas across southern Alberta."

July saw 131.2 millimetres compared to the August 56, and Thorneby says this year's summer was one of the wettest in some time.

"Okotoks saw 56.2 millimetres throughout the whole month. Calgary had 81.3 millimetres which ended up being the 29th wettest August on record and actually showed 142 percent above normal precipitation through the month of August. Through the summer as whole Okotoks saw 247.2 millimetres of rain."

Thorneby says it was a monumental season for the entire province weather wise.

"The whole summer was wet, especially July and across areas in southern Alberta some saw upwards of 200 percent of normal precipitation. Areas around Calgary and Okotoks were closer to 150 percent above normal."

When asked about the month of September Thorneby says things will warm up in September a little above average in temperature from past years.
