Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for June 17, 2026. Cold air continues to dominate Manitoba, with temperatures remaining below seasonal norms. Residents should brace for chilly conditions as the province experiences a prolonged cold spell.
Current Weather Conditions
As of this afternoon, temperatures across Manitoba are hovering several degrees below average. Winds from the north are bringing in a steady stream of cold air, making it feel even colder. Skies are mostly clear to partly cloudy, with no significant precipitation expected in the immediate future.
Forecast for the Coming Days
The cold air mass is expected to linger for at least the next few days. Daytime highs will struggle to reach the mid-teens Celsius, while overnight lows could dip near freezing in some areas. A slight warming trend is possible by the weekend, but confidence remains low.
Colleen advises dressing warmly and staying updated on the latest forecasts, especially if you have outdoor plans. The persistent cold is unusual for mid-June, so take precautions against the chill.
