Reading Time: 3 minutes Last issue we took a look at just how hot some places around the world have been this year. In this issue we ll take a quick look back at how Alberta s August weather turned out, and then look ahead to see if Alberta might finally see some warm weather in September, and hopefully […] Read more

Reading Time: 3 minutes The global temperature numbers have been crunched for the month of July and depending on who crunched the data, July was somewhere between the third and sixth warmest on record. Land-based observations had July as the fifth warmest on record, while ocean-based observations had that region as the 11th-warmest July on record. Combining the two […] Read more

Reading Time: 3 minutes With plenty of severe weather occurring all across the Canadian Prairies this summer, I thought we should go back and take another look at some of the aspects of severe summer weather. The first thing that pops into my mind when it comes to severe summer weather is thunderstorms, which can bring several types of […] Read more

Reading Time: 3 minutes While a good chunk of North America has been under the grip of an intense heat wave, much of Alberta has been suffering under cool conditions with plenty of rain.

Instead, I’ve decided to look at a particular aspect of thunderstorms that everyone has seen, can be deadly but rarely is, and is probably one of […] Read more

Reading Time: 3 minutes Another month has come and gone and the weather was anything but perfect across the Prairies in April. As is usual near the start of a new month, we’ll take a little time to look back at April’s weather and then peer ahead to see what the next month or two might hold in store. […] Read more

Reading Time: 3 minutes A couple of articles ago I discussed how April can bring some of the biggest dumps of snow. Little did I know that was exactly what was going to happen this month. In fact, I received a couple of emails from people jokingly saying that I jinxed this April’s weather by talking about snow. So […] Read more

Reading Time: 3 minutes Ayear ago we had just gone through one of the nicest, warmest Marches in recent memory. Everyone was worried about the dry conditions and there was plenty of talk about possible drought for the upcoming growing season. This year, our weather story has taken a full 180-degree turn. This March was far from warm, and […] Read more
