    September 21st&#39;s High of 28°C will rank as the 4th warmest on record. 1967 was at the top, at 30.6°C. This morning&#39;s Low of around 8.6°C will probably rank 6th. #yegwx #yeg https://public.tableau.com/shared/WM7R64XJK?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    In August we average around 50mm of precipitation. After 2 days Blatchford is almost halfway there, with 21.5mm. (on the chart it looks like practically nothing next to the massive June &amp; July) #yegwx #yeg https://public.tableau.com/shared/QBBDGXJ6X?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    Everyone knows the drill by now... Today&#39;s 21mm pushed Blatchford&#39;s July total up to 263.5mm. That&#39;s our 3rd biggest month on record. It&#39;s 5.6mm short of our record-breaking June, and 19.2mm shy of 1901&#39;s all-time record. #yegwx #yeg https://public.tableau.com/shared/53JHP2CQX?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    RE: https://mstdn.ca/@yegwxnerdery/116987021735275546 At 3PM the sun is out again, and Blatchford has recorded 21mm. So July 2026 now sits at 263.5mm. That&#39;s still 5.6mm short of our-breaking June, and 19.2mm shy of 1901&#39;s all-time record. #yegwx #yeg

    RE: https://mstdn.ca/@yegwxnerdery/116987021735275546 The rain is still going, but at 2PM it&#39;s been 16.2mm, which moves July 2026 up to 258.7mm. That&#39;s only our 3rd month to ever cross the 250mm mark. It&#39;s 10.4mm away from catching last month, and 24mm away from 1901&#39;s all-time record. #yegwx #yeg

    July 25th&#39;s storm pushed the July total up to 242.5mm, which is Blatchford&#39;s 3rd rainiest month on record. #yegwx #yeg The only months with more were 269.1mm last month, and 282.7mm in 1901. (and one more big storm could catch either of those) https://public.tableau.com/shared/XJ56W7495?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    ...I&#39;d forgotten to mention this, but last week July became our 3rd rainiest month on record with 212.5mm (now 242.5mm). The only months with more were the 269.1mm last month, and July 1901&#39;s 282.7mm. https://public.tableau.com/shared/488JP236W?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    RE: https://mstdn.ca/@yegwxnerdery/116984310475917328 29.9mm total for the storm will push 2026 up to 634.7mm. That&#39;s still 5th overall. But its 7mm away from 4th place, &amp; 15mm from 3rd. #yegwx #yeg

    It&#39;s still raining out there. #yegwx #yeg But as of 10PM Blatchford got another 15mm. That would push July close to 230mm. And 2026 overall will be around 620mm, which takes over as Blatchford&#39;s 5th most on record. https://public.tableau.com/shared/BPHF9PQ6C?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    Somehow it&#39;s both rainy &amp; smoky? But this morning&#39;s rain pushed Blatchford&#39;s precipitation for 2026 up to 602.5mm. #yegwx #yeg That is Blatchford&#39;s 7th most on record. The last time Blatchford got to 600mm was 1978. The airport Stony Plain got there in 1996... https://public.tableau.com/views/EdmontonAlbertaPrecipitationTest/CumulativePrecipitation?:language=en-US&amp;:sid=&amp;:redirect=auth&amp;:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    July 18th was our 4th 30°C High of the year. #yegwx #yeg Historically 4 would have been plenty for us. But recently we&#39;ve had our top 3 years with 14 in 2025, 16 in 2024 &amp; 17 in 2021. And some of those happened pretty late into August &amp; September... https://public.tableau.com/shared/SF7GWMCPF?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    RE: https://mstdn.ca/@yegwxnerdery/116929776791338054 Blatchford got at least another 30mm tonight, which will push its total for the year past 560mm. That&#39;s more than any year since 1978. And it&#39;s the 8th most precipitation on record (and we&#39;ve still got 5 and a bit months left...) https://public.tableau.com/shared/KMYW9MNGP?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    July 17th&#39;s High of 30.7°C was our warmest day of the year, and our 3rd 30°C High of 2026. #yegwx #yeg 30.7°C was our 11th warmest July 17th, and the Low of 17.8°C tied 1987 for 4th warmest. 2024 has both those records at 34°C &amp; 19.1°C. https://public.tableau.com/shared/Y3RGCT3Q3?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    July 15th&#39;s early morning storm really hit Blatchford with 43.1mm. #yegwx #yeg Elk Island &amp; Villeneuve both got a sizeable ~28mm, while everywhere else was pretty dry... https://public.tableau.com/shared/3S878YXK8?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    Charts aren&#39;t updated yet, but Blatchford got another 40mm storm last night. #yegwx #yeg That will be our 4th of the year (3 was already a record). July&#39;s total is now 139mm. And our yearly total of 531mm is Blatchford&#39;s highest since 1994 (with 5.5 months left). https://public.tableau.com/shared/9G8XWZX87?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    For river fans, today will be the first day that we&#39;re below 500m3/s since June 18th. #yegriver #yeg (the rowing club and dragonboat docks got swept away by the spike up to 1,150m3/s on June 22nd)... https://public.tableau.com/views/NorthSaskatchewanRiverHistory/ThroughoutYear?:language=en-US&amp;:sid=&amp;:redirect=auth&amp;:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    July 11th was the 2nd big day in a row for Blatchford, with 2 storms dumping 49.4mm. #yegwx #yeg Villeneuve got 20.2mm, while the airport was 5.2mm. https://public.tableau.com/shared/95JCGWKG4?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    RE: https://mstdn.ca/@yegwxnerdery/116902205263710921 July 11th has had 2 storms (so far) adding another 50mm. So July&#39;s total of 96.8mm is now above average...with 3 weeks left to go. And the yearly total is up to 488mm. #yegwx #yeg

    July 10th&#39;s storm hit Blatchford the hardest, with 32.6mm. #yegwx #yeg Villeneuve was next with 18.4mm, and the airport got 14.5mm... https://public.tableau.com/shared/NKNX57QBQ?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    And so we&#39;ve reached the end of a fairly historic June. Let&#39;s take a big look back at Edmonton weather. #yegwx #yeg https://edmontonweathernerdery.blogspot.com/2026/07/june-2026.html

    Last night&#39;s storm was fun, but it only dropped 5mm on Blatchford, and mostly missed the other stations. So with 1 day left Blatchford&#39;s 265.6mm is still 17.1mm short of the all-time monthly record of 282.7mm from July 1901. (Elk Island has 267.3mm) #yegwx #yeg https://public.tableau.com/shared/Y8JDTYSMZ?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    With 2 days left in June the local stations are up to: Blatchford 260.5mm Stony Plain 252.6mm Airport 220.9mm Elk Island (if we want to count it) 267.2mm One good thunderstorm could push those past the all-time record of 282.7mm from July 1901. #yegwx #yeg https://public.tableau.com/shared/DNRKNCC5H?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    Around Edmonton we got 35~41mm on June 1st, following the ~22mm on May 31st. Plus whatever we get today. (I don&amp;#39;t download Environment Canada&amp;#39;s hourly data, because there&amp;#39;s too much of it. So I don&amp;#39;t know the last time that we got 48+ hours of straight rain) https://public.tableau.com/shared/YC8H747RM?:display_count=n&amp;amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    A week ago the local stations had gotten around 90mm of precipitation so far in 2026. But after the past 3 days Blatchford is now just shy of doubling that, with 177mm. #yegwx #yeg https://public.tableau.com/shared/HGTKPXH2J?:display_count=n&amp;amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    ...the airport only recorded 0.2cm of snow on April 24th. Downtown definitely got more than that (with even more this morning). April&#39;s 11.9cm is getting close to its average of 13.4cm. And April could end up with more snow than November or January. https://public.tableau.com/shared/WNWCJK98K?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    ...below-freezing Highs are definitely not common this late in the year. 2026 joins 2013, 2008 &amp; 2005 as the only recent years to get one. https://public.tableau.com/shared/Y2D4XM428?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    ...so yes, April 2026 was cold. The average High of 8.3°C was the 111th warmest on record. The average Low of -2.6°C was 105th. But that&#39;s in the same range as 2020 &amp; 2018, and warmer than 2013. And that&#39;s about 6°C warmer than a typical March. https://public.tableau.com/shared/7FDH9BPR6?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    ...the airport got another 1.8cm of snow. That brings the April total to 14.8cm, which is just a bit above the average of 13cm. But April has had 9 days with snow, when the average is only around 5. https://public.tableau.com/shared/MFXBQHQ88?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link

    ...for some context, February does like deepfreezes. On average it gets around 5 Lows of -20°C. The only recent years with none were 2016 &amp; 2013. But recently 2025, 2021 &amp; 2019 got to -20°C on 14, 15 &amp; 19 days respectively. So February can definitely be cold. https://public.tableau.com/shared/3QRYTTKT3?:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link
