With another winter heatwave on the way, you might be wondering how common this is? #yegwx #yeg
February averages 12 above-freezing Highs, with 4 of those getting to 5Β°C.
10Β°C is unusual, but we got some in 2025, 2024, 2020, 2017, 2016, 2006...

linegraph of temperature history for January 15th

The heatwave is supposed to calm down, but yesterday's warmth carried into this morning.
January 15th's record High is 9.1Β°C from 2014.
But today's High is already 7.2Β°C, which would rank as #4.
The record Low is 2.8Β°C from 2013, and we might beat that.

It looks like a January heatwave is right around the corner, and it's worth remembering that they're pretty common. #yegwx #yeg
January averages around 12 above-freezing Highs, and 4 of those get to 5Β°C.
2024 even got to 10Β°C twice, but those are pretty rare.

I forgot to put a legend on the tornado damage surveys. Just imagine the tornado rating increases from cool to warm.

January 2024 was actually a bit cooler than some other recent years.
But depending on how one counts, the last time that we had a truly cold January (colder than the 20th century average) was back in 2004.

This morning is cold & snowy, but yesterday the airport got 2.7mm of rain. And that's the airport's 3rd rainy day so far in December.
2024 also had 3 rainy December days, with the latest on the 21st.

recent snowdepth history around Edmonton

Last winter, November 22nd was when we got our first big jump in snowdepth, which then stayed with us through March.
2023 waited until December 4th, and after that it was pretty low-snow until a big March storm.
And 2015 made it to November 23rd.
