Hot summer weather will return to the Red River Valley on Friday.

Friday will be when the hot and humid weather settles back into the region. Winnipeg will see temperatures climb to a high near 32 °C and a breezy southerly wind will draw humid conditions northwards. By the end of the day, the dewpoint is forecast to reach almost 20 °C which would make for noticeably muggy conditions.

A cold front will push eastwards across the region on Friday evening into the night. It looks likely that it will support an area of showers and thunderstorms as it moves through.

Long Range Outlook

The weekend will bring more sunshine with a return to comfortable humidity levels. Both Saturday and Sunday will see high temperatures in the upper 20s.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 26°C while the seasonal overnight low is 13°C.

Winnipeg will see pleasant summer conditions with near-seasonal temperatures over the next few days.

It’s a nice, short forecast to start the week for Winnipeg. The driving weather features over the coming days will be a departing upper low over Ontario and gradually building upper ridge over the western Prairies. These two things combined will result in near-seasonal temperatures through the next few days with comfortable humidity levels. The city will also see plenty of sunshine over the coming days.

Beautiful summer conditions lie ahead for Winnipeg this weekend!

A building upper ridge will bring plenty of sunshine to the region over the coming days with seasonal temperatures. Right through the weekend, Winnipeg will see daytime highs near 26 or 27°C and lows in the mid-teens. Winds on Friday will be out of the northwest at 15 to 25 km/h, then they’ll ease to light and variable for the weekend.

Seasonably warm temperatures will continue across southern Manitoba this weekend.

A disturbance embedded within the building ridge will move across the region on Saturday morning, bringing some cloud to the region. No rain is expected in Winnipeg with this system, instead any precipitation is forecast to stay west of the Red River Valley. This cloud will break up for the afternoon hours and then clear out by the evening.

Long Range Outlook

Next week will kick off with a low moving through the province that could bring more rain and/or thunderstorms to the region. After that, though, it looks like a return to pleasant summer conditions. Near-seasonal highs with comfortable humidity look to persist right through the week.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 26°C while the seasonal overnight low is 13°C.
