The last time that we recorded any precipitation was two weeks ago, on April 26th. #yegwx #yegBut on the plus side, we are at the point of the year where the switch usually gets flipped, and our monsoon season kicks in...https://public.tableau.com/shared/55HY582QZ?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

@EllenInEdmonton Hmmm, yeah, the neighbourhood-level forecast on my phone app has lows down to 4, so a couple degrees cooler than the Environment Canada one.(And if you're looking at a forecast based on airport readings, it will be colder still.)I'll have to keep an eye on the numbers for the tomatoes, I guess.

May 5th is the average day of Blatchford's final frost.So half of the time we're done, and half of the time there's more to come.By May 11th there's still a 25% risk of frost, and by May 17th it's down to 10%.#yegwx #yeghttps://public.tableau.com/shared/C78DSC5XM?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

...for May we average a week or two above 20°C, and quite often we will reach 30°C.About a third of the time our final frost is in April, but May often has a few of frosty nights.And the airport recorded May snow in 2024. 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2015...https://public.tableau.com/shared/5NNKDH4SW?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Hopefully this will be the last "It's still winter?" post, at least for awhile. #yegwx #yegApril 26th's High of 0.4°C was our 4th coldest on record. The Low of -6.6°C with 7th coldest.Both of those were the coldest April 26th since 1956.https://public.tableau.com/shared/365J4333Y?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

April 25th's High of -2.1°C was almost a record. #yegwx #yegOur coldest April 25th on record was -2.2°C, in both 1954 & 1945, so 2026 will need to settle for 3rd coldest.And the low of -6.1°C was 5th coldest on record.https://public.tableau.com/shared/NNFW3G3G7?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

@Albertan_AlbertAn We do have some in the garden also which I’m hoping may still recover as its roots would have been more protected…. but we shall see, if spring ever gets here

April 24th wasn't warm, although its High did manage to make it above freezing.But that High of 1.3°C was the 5th coldest on record (recently 2008 was 2nd coldest).Just a few days earlier April 20th's High of 22.7°C was its 5th warmest on record.#yegwx #yeghttps://public.tableau.com/shared/YP3K2G95D?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

I've been debating going to the show tonight at the Blue Chair (the last weekend before they close, and an artist I do enjoy and haven't seen for quite a while). But, uggghhhh this weather, I don't want to go out. But I already didn't go to the show I was looking at for last night, because ugghh, the weather, I didn't want to go out.I check their website, to see if the show is sold out, anyway:April 24th, Romi Mayes is on our stage as part of her spring solo tour she is one of my personal favorites! -CANCELLED ROMI IS STUCK IN A BLIZZARD IN SASKATOON. uggghhhh this weather#YEGwx #YEGmusic

@Daveography It's a good sign that you need to dust off the lawn chairs because you're going to need them next week

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@yegwxnerdery/116437095898789325So April 20th is our first 20⁰C day of 2026, and our warmest day since October 10th.It's fairly typical for these to start popping up in Mid-April (although the forecast High of 3⁰C later this week is also fairly typical)#yegwx #yeg

Spring started 4 weeks ago (...wait, that can't be right, can it?)Has this been the coldest spring ever? #yegwx #yegUsurpingly, no.It definitely hasn't been warm, but the average High of 3°C is our 126th warmest out of 147. The average Low of -6°C is 105th warmest...https://public.tableau.com/shared/4N77QKB5K?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

April 16th was cold. #yegwx #yegIts High of -0.5°C was our 5th coldest on record, and Low of -8.2°C was 6th coldest.That made it our coldest April 16th since 1989, although 2002 was close.The average High for mid-April is 10°C, and Low is -1°C.https://public.tableau.com/shared/TGTR5TTBG?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Edmonton folks:AccuWeather has been consistently predicting highs of 20°C and above for Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday. Environment Canada is sticking to more temperate predictions, 14-16°, although they're now saying maybe 20 by Tuesday.Where are you placing your bets?(Poll in reply) #YEGwx

10am and it's still snowing! I guess it'll stay for another day...#,yegbike #yegwx #yeg

The airport got another 1.3cm of snow on the 15th, following the 2.5cm on the 14th.That brings April's total to 10.9cm, which is getting close to the average of 13cm.#yegwx #yeghttps://public.tableau.com/shared/P366Y36XN?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Snowing outdoors.Growing indoors. #YEGwx #YEGgarden

The airport got 2.5cm of snow on April 14th (and possibly more overnight).That brings April's total to 9.6cm so far. On average April gets around 13cm for the whole month. #yegwx #yeghttps://public.tableau.com/shared/JHFX76CBG?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link
