Prairie forecast: Potential to turn cool and wet

Forecast issued July 9, covering July 9 to 16, 2025

By Daniel Bezte 4 days ago

Reading Time: 3 minutes For this forecast period we are starting off with a large area of high pressure over Ontario and an equally large area of low pressure over the Yukon. The clockwise flow around the Ontario high, combined with the counterclockwise flow around the Yukon low, is creating a widespread southerly flow across the Prairies. This should lead to one more day of warm temperatures across the western Prairies and a couple more days over the eastern half.

Prairie forecast: Looking warm and dry for Canada Day

Forecast issued June 25, covering June 25 to July 2, 2025

By Daniel Bezte June 25, 2025

Reading Time: 3 minutes A broad but unorganized area of low pressure impacts all three Prairie provinces for at least the first half of this forecast period. Unsettled weather means it will be a difficult forecast to pin down. It also means seasonable temperatures with no big intense heat waves expected—though that doesn’t mean we won’t see a few hot days.
