The majority of Saskatchewan's rainfall occurs during the summer months, with June, July, and August typically being the wettest months. However, precipitation can occur at any time of year, and the province can experience heavy rainfall and snowfall during the spring, fall, and winter months.
Droughts are a common occurrence in Saskatchewan, and the province has experienced several severe droughts in recent decades. During these periods, rainfall can be significantly below average, leading to crop failures, water shortages, and other negative impacts on the environment and the economy.
