One industry being affected by this unusual hot spell is fruit orchards.
Apples are ripening faster than predicted because of the extreme temperatures that don't usually happen in late September.
As a result orchard owners have had to bring in picking crews to get some of the early varieties off before they spoil or fall to the ground and bruise.
Andrew Thiessen owns Thiessen Orchards.
He told AM800 listeners on the Afternoon News there are specific varieties that need to be picked now.
Thiessen says people visiting the "you-pick" orchard usually do the work.
"normally the fruit ripens a lot slower over time and we can leave them on the trees and let our guests pick them themselves off the trees" says Thiessen, "but with the heat the apples are ripening quicker and if they over-ripen they'll fall off on the ground before our guests pick them"
Thiessen says they've made sure the fruit is being picked in its prime.
He says the varieties being affected most are Honeycrisp, Gala and Ambrosia.
Michigan apple growers are facing similar conditions.
They're being urged to make sure the heat has come out of the fruit by doing things like letting the bins sit in the cooler overnight air before storing them.
