Calgary residents should brace for a chilly and damp long weekend as the forecast calls for cold, windy, and wet conditions. According to Jodi Hughes, the weather outlook for the May long weekend is far from ideal for outdoor plans.
Unseasonably Cool Temperatures
Temperatures are expected to be well below seasonal averages, with highs struggling to reach double digits. Combined with gusty winds, the wind chill will make it feel even colder. Rain is likely throughout the weekend, with a chance of showers on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Wind and Precipitation
Strong winds are also in the forecast, which could lead to localized blowing dust or reduced visibility. Residents are advised to secure loose outdoor items and take caution if traveling. The rain may be heavy at times, but no significant snowfall is expected in the city itself.
Preparation Tips
If you have outdoor activities planned, consider rescheduling or preparing for wet and cool conditions. Dress in layers, bring waterproof gear, and stay updated on the latest forecasts. The cold and wet weather is expected to persist through the holiday Monday.
For the most current information, check local weather updates regularly. Stay safe and warm this long weekend.
