1.8 mm of freezing drizzle in my gauge this morning in Southdale Winnipeg. Thick ice on everything. #mbstorm

Climatological winter 2025-2026 (Dec to Feb) was pretty average overall in Winnipeg, but there wasn't as much extreme cold as normal. Only 6 days dipped below -30°C and only 6 days had wind chill of -40, both half of normal. There was a bit more snow than normal as well, coming in at 32nd snowiest.

It was a mild February in Winnipeg, averaging about 3°C above normal and tied 22nd warmest since 1873. For only the 21st time, temperatures did not reach -30°C. Snowfall was around average.

An unremarkable January in #Winnipeg weather-wise. It was colder relative to recent years but historically average. The only thing that stood out was the rain in the first half of the month. 7 days had rain or freezing rain/drizzle. 1-2 mm fell in the city, but 3-5 mm fell north and east of city.

Impressive freezing rain rates in the Winnipeg area since 11:30am... As much as 2 mm in an hour at Beausejour and Lac du Bonnet. The Forks in Winnipeg recorded 1.0 mm in only 18 minutes. These are certainly near record rates for January. And still falling north and east of the city.... #mbstorm

The HIGH of 9.0°C in Winnipeg yesterday not only broke the daily record of 10.6 in 1889, it was the earliest single digit high on record since records began in 1872. It was the only single digit high ever recorded between June 9 and September 6.

July was the smokiest month on record in Winnipeg with 189 hours of smoke at the Airport. Temperatures were average, but it was much drier than normal. It was also the driest January to July on record at the Airport with 126mm of precip. Normal is close to 300mm

June was very dry and historically smoky in Winnipeg. 81 hours of smoke at the Airport was easily a record since 1953. Rainfall varied from 20 mm in western parts of the city to 60 mm in eastern parts, but the 23 mm at the Airport was the driest in over 50 years (since 1974).

We're only 6 days into June, but it's already the smokiest June on record since 1953 in Winnipeg. 58 hours of smoke and counting as of 6am this morning.

It was the 6th warmest May since 1872 in Winnipeg with a mean temperature of 14.7°C, 3.6°C above normal. Note we just had the 2nd warmest May two years ago in 2023. Measurable rain fell on only 3 days, the fewest in over a century. It was also the 3rd consecutive May to be in the top 5 smokiest.

It was the warmest first two weeks of May on record in Winnipeg since 1872, beating 1977. This was the case for both mean temperature and average daily high temperature. Note that the month overall won't be nearly as impressive due to colder weather starting tomorrow.

Incredible temperatures in the Red River Valley and Interlake yesterday... Reaching almost 38°C at some stations. Winnipeg's 37.0°C was the earliest 37°C, beating May 22, 1980.

A very average April in Winnipeg, but dry. Less than half the normal precipitation fell. If April felt warm, it was only because we had so many cold ones in the past decade that we've forgotten what's normal.

A mild March overall in Winnipeg with average snowfall. Most of the winter snow pack was gone by mid March. Note that the Weatherlogics snow measurement site is in southwestern parts of the city where amounts were lower in last week's event. North and east parts of the city received over 20 cm.

A significant spring snowstorm is coming to an end across the Prairies. Here are estimated total snowfall amounts across the region up to 12 PM on Friday, March 28. #abstorm #skstorm #mbstorm

It was generally another mild meteorological winter in Winnipeg, but much colder than last year. The worst cold snap was in February. Snowfall was around normal, but most of it fell in December. It was also windier than normal, tied 6th windiest winter since 1953.

At almost 2 degrees below normal, February was the most colder than normal month since April 2023 in Winnipeg, which shows the impressive warm streak we've had the past couple years. It was also the coldest month in 3 years, since February 2022. February was also very dry with half the normal snow.

January was a roller coaster ride of temperatures in Winnipeg, but was very average by 21st century norms. However, it was the first time since 1872 that we had two consecutive Januarys with one or fewer days below -30°C. There were far more days below -30°C in southwestern Manitoba (9 in Brandon).

With a high of 3.4c at Winnipeg airport earlier this afternoon, we just squeezed in a record high for today breaking 3.3C in 1976. Cold front from the north has already dropped us below freezing.

Those were quite some winds in southern Manitoba yesterday... Widespread gusts of 90 to 100 km/h through south-central Manitoba. Winnipeg Airport gusted to 87 km/h, the strongest gust in January since 2009 (though 85 km/h was recorded during a blizzard on Jan 12, 2017)

Welcome to 2025! 2024 was an exceptionally warm year in southern Mb. In Winnipeg, the 2nd warmest since 1872 & warmest since 1987 Cold was distinctly infrequent with the number of -10c and -20c days being nearly a month less than average. It was also the foggiest year since 2001

It was a mild, snowy, foggy & windy December in Winnipeg. -Windiest since 2016. -6 days had freezing drizzle (most since 2005) and 6 days had fog. Normal only 2 days for each -Overall, it was a roller coaster ride for temperatures with some wild ups and downs. -Warmest Dec 27

2024 goes down as the 2nd warmest year on record since 1872 in Winnipeg with a mean temperature of 5.4°C. Only two other years, 1987 and 1931, averaged over 5°C (also El Nino years). Every month except June (only 0.6°C below normal) was warmer than normal.

Brandon is gorgeous today #mbstorm

First -30°C of season at Winnipeg Airport with a low of -30.7°C so far this morning. 17 days earlier than average but within the range of expected. Warmer inside the city but still cold, more like -25 to -27°C. Coldest temperatures are around Riding Mountain, as low as -34°C.

Despite a cold end to the month, November still tied 16th warmest in Winnipeg since 1872. The big stories were the rainfall and the late first snowfalls. -2nd rainiest Nov at airport with almost ten times the normal. ☔️ -2nd latest first snowflakes ❄️ -latest first measurable snow ☃️

Fall (Sept to Nov) was the 2nd warmest on record in Winnipeg since 1872, beating 2016 but just shy of 1963. It was essentially the cold weather of the past week that prevented us from beating 1963.

First -30s of the season southwest of Riding Mountain this morning. They may be more widespread tonight in SW Mb. The Red River Valley is much warmer due to cloud cover. Pick your poison, either cloudy skies or extreme cold... Colourful attachment is infrared satellite.

2.0 cm of snow in Southdale during the night #mbstorm

3 cm of fluffy snow in Southdale Winnipeg so far today #mbstorm

Winter is finally on our doorstep in Winnipeg, but we have had quite a streak of warmth this fall. Almost every day has been warmer than normal since the beginning of September - only 7 have been truly below normal. Not a single day was more than 3° below normal. The last truly cold day was Oct 15.

Winnipeg Airport has now received about 60 mm of rain this November, the 2nd rainiest November on record. Note that The Forks has had approximately 68 mm, which would have beat the record. Some localized amounts over 70 mm have even been recorded in southeast parts of the city.

No snow at all in Southdale Winnipeg. Total 35 mm of rain. #mbstorm

Cool to see the cold air wrapping around Winnipeg as the low stalls out over the city. The warmer air clinging on for dear life over the city in the final hours before a switchover snow.

Amazingly my snapdragons are still blooming on November 18 in Winnipeg. Won’t last much longer though!

Once again we managed to avoid measurable snow in Winnipeg last night… But it can’t last much longer right? We will be entering into the top 4 latest first accumulation. With another rainstorm Tuesday, we will likely enter into the top 4 rainiest Novembers as well. Exact rankings TBD.

If you feel like it's been a long time since we've seen any snow in Winnipeg, you're right. We've now had 202 consecutive days without any flakes of snow fall on the city, the longest period on record since 1872.

It was a gorgeous October in southern MB with abundant sunshine and warm temperatures almost everyday. Given clear skies, nights were a bit chilly but days very mild. 26 days above 10°C in Winnipeg, tied 5th most. It was the first October without a single snowflake since 2015.
