Environment Canada is predicting a warmer and drier start to November and the pig spleen agrees with that assessment.

Wade Gilbertson from Parkside, has examined the spleens from three outdoor pigs to make the forecast.

He has been honing his skills for 24 years and claims a 75 per cent accuracy rate, but adds it has been even better over the last three years.

Gilbertson is forecasting above normal temperatures for November and most of December.
