As of 11AM on October 10th Blatchford will have recorded 725.4mm of precipitation in 2026.
That's a new record!
It beats 724.5mm from 1900. #yegwx #yeg
(for the completists out there, Stony Plain got to 731.9mm in 1980, so we've still got that to aim for)

Hey #yeg, the snow has started.

Drive accordingly.

Alright #yegbike, let's talk. (#yegwx)
If we get snow this weekend, it will be the earliest first snow since 2019.
20225, 2024, 2022 & 2021 made it all the way through October with no snow.
But 2018 & 2017 were both pretty snowy back in September...

Coldest Thanksgiving weekend in Edmonton since 2016…and the first with snow since 2018 & 2016. A full look at that and more on the snowfall timing/amounts --- Fri WxBlast video: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/vid... #yegwx

Edmonton's average High for the Thanksgiving weekend is 12°C, and the average Low is 1.1°C.
Recently 2022 & 2023 were up around 20°C, while 2016 barely made it above freezing.

Rain today...turning to snow tonight and Saturday as a cool spell sets in for the Thanksgiving long weekend.

The record for annual precipitation will get broken later Friday (oct 9)...with 2-and-a-half months left in the year. 2026 will become Edmonton's "wettest" year on record (based largely on the record-setting rain in June/July). #yegwx

It's been slow going recently, but with October 8th's rain Blatchford is up to 722.9mm of Precipitation for the year.
That is just 1.9mm short of its record of 724.8mm from 1900.
(once the snow starts, it will also count towards the precipitation total)
