Those waiting for summer to finally arrive in Quinte last month, with a spell of hot, humid weather, were probably disappointed.
An official at the C-F-B Trenton weather office says except for a couple of weeks in the middle of August, temperatures were below normal.
The average high last month was 24 degrees, 1.4 less than the usual August maximum.
There was 76.6 millimetres of rain at the base, five and a half more than normal.
