Before you buy anything with a lithium-ion battery, do your homework. Check the packaging and product for a mark from a nationally recognized testing lab—that stamp means it meets real safety standards. Many products sold online and in stores don’t, and that can seriously increase your risk of fire.

Highest rainfalls (25-50mm) on either side of the Bay of Fundy & NE into PEI (20mm). Only 2mm in my HFX location.
A chilly NW wind today with more cloud and a few showers developing in E areas (see pic).
Frosty tonight; even downtown Halifax.
Lots of sun and warming into the teens on the weekend.

A sun cloud mix today; spotty showers in the east. With a northerly flow, 20C most likely Fundy & Atlantic coasts.
More cloud and higher chances of showers Wednesday to start October. Cooler north winds: lucky to reach the teens.
Clears up and gradually back into the low-mid 20's thru the weekend.

Now that Hurricane Gabrielle is moving eastward toeard the Azores, there are two new systems developing. What may be Humberto and Imelda will likely be interacting with each other, resulting in a rather challenging track forecast for either or both storms.

Fine day today. Rain at times heavy spreads across the region tonight then tapers to showers followed by clearing on Friday. Looking for an average of 25mm; higher in some spots (NB), lower in others (parts NS).
Sun-cloud and a cool breezy Saturday, then back to warmer fine conditions to end Sept.

Just 1.3mm in my gauge this morning. Fog and low cloud clears for nice afternoon today. Quite a bit of sun again Thursday before a rain system moves in Thursday night. The rain ends on Friday... I'm hoping for 20mm.
A mostly sunny weekend then a fine end to September.
