Winnipeg is set to record its warmest November ever,says CBC meteorologist John Sauder.

"The first 15 days were the warmest on record if you look at just half the month," he said.

While there are still a few days left on the calendar, so far the month's average temperature is 2.3 C.

The daily average temperature isanentire degree warmer than the previous record, set back in November 1923 when daily mean temperatures averaged 1.3 C.
