Welcome to the Glean, MinnPost’s twice-daily roundup of Minnesota news.

Premiums on health insurance policies sold to individuals will increase on average between 1.9% and 5.5% next year in Minnesota. Sven Sundgaard at MPR News reports the average temperature for the month of September so far in the Twin Cities sits at 68.8 degrees through Sept. 28.
