Fine, let's talk about snow removal. For the 5 big winter months of November-March we average around 20cm of snow. February is a bit of an under-achiever compared to its neighbours, around 14cm. The other months can get snow, but it's more hit-or-miss. public.tableau.com/shared/8GRX6... #yegwx #yeg

Snowdepth is not always the most reliable of measurements, but how did our January heatwave affect it? During this week of 5°C temperatures: Blatchford fell from 43cm to 38cm The airport fell from 27cm to 22cm Stony Plain fell from 37cm to 26cm #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/DZ6FY...

The heatwave is supposed to calm down, but yesterday's warmth carried into this morning. January 15th's record High is 9.1°C from 2014. But today's High is already 7.2°C, which would rank as #4. The record Low is 2.8°C from 2013, and we might beat that. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/67DKK...

January 14th's High of 11.6°C sets a new record, ahead of 8.3°C from 1942. #yegwx #yeg This morning's Low of -2.7°C is the 6th warmest. public.tableau.com/shared/89NZ6...

So at 2PM we're up to at least 10.7⁰C. That will be a new daily record for January 14th, and tied for our 12th warmest January temperature ever recorded.

January 14th is our 5th (and possibly final?) 5⁰C High in-a-row. #yegwx #yeg 5 is a lot for January, but 2009 & 2024 both got there too, and 2015 got to 6. 1889 & 1942 have the record with 7 in-a-row.

For January 14th our record High is 8.3°C from 1942. #yegwx #yeg The record Low is 1.1°C from 1965, but this morning we've already been down to -2.7°C. Last year 2025 was a pretty warm 5.8°C, while 2024 was not, with a High of -31.3°C and Low of -37.7°C. public.tableau.com/shared/T4D55...

January 13th is our 4th High in-a-row to get to 5°C. The record for January is 7 in-a-row, in 1889 & 1942. More recently 2009 & 2024 got to 5, and 2015 got to 6. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/3QHBK...

January 13th's High of 9.2°C ends up as our 2nd warmest, just behind the record of 9.4°C from 1891. This morning's Low of 2°C will probably set a new record, unless things really cool off before midnight. 1942 & 1943 had the old record of 1.1°C. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/89626...

Up to 9⁰C so far, so this will be at least the 2nd warmest January 13th on record...

#yegwx trivia time: In January we average ~4 Highs which get to 5°C. January 13th will be #4, and it's also 4 in-a-row. Does anyone want to guess January's longest streak of 5°C days in-a-row? Either the longest ever recorded, or the longest since 2000? #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/2MZ8K...

For January 13th our record High is 9.4°C from 1891. #yegwx #yeg The record warmest-Low is 1.1°C from both 1942 & 1943. And this morning we're at 2°C, so that might be a new record. Two years ago in 2024 we were still in a deepfreeze with a Low of -36°C. public.tableau.com/shared/NRNGF...

January 12th's High of 10.3°C sets a new record, ahead of 9.4°C from 1891. This morning's Low of -2.8°C will be a respectable 7th. 1884 has the record with 0°C. Two years ago January 12th 2024 had a High of -31.8°C, and Low of -36.9°C. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/JW3X6...

It feels like a bit of a gag saying this today, but January 12th is the day of the year with our lowest average temperature. Temperatures bottom out for two weeks, from around new year's to today. After that starts the slow, slow climb towards spring. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/XMPJC...

These are Edmonton's warmest January Highs on record. We're up to 10.3°C today, which would take over the #14 spot. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/6539M...

And so today will be the 23rd January high on record to get to 10ºC.

Today's high will be at least 10ºC, and will be a new record for January 12th.

We're up over 9°C today. For interest's sake, this is our history of 8°C, 9°C & 10°C days in January. Getting to 10°C has always been pretty rare, most recently in 2024, 2016, 2012, and before that 1989. 8°C & 9°C are obviously easier hurdles to cross. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/WWYB5...

9.3 degrees (as of 2pm) in Edmonton. 1/10th of a degree off the record high for Jan 12. #yegwx

Our record High for January 12th is 9.4°C from back in 1891. At 10AM we're already at 6.1°C, so we'll need to see how the day goes. #yegwx #yeg 2 years ago, the High on January 12th 2024 was a somewhat chilly -31.8°C. public.tableau.com/shared/FSY2Z...

January 10th 2026 was really mild, and it was really close to a year ago on January 10th 2025. 2026's High of 5.8°C was our 3rd warmest on record (2025 was 5.5°C). And the Low of -2.8°C tied 1986 for 3rd warmest (2025's -1.1°C tied for the record) #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/K5C3R...

Our average High at this time of year is -5°C~ish. So half of the time we're above that, and half of the time we're below. A big chunk of December was 10°C below average, and so it's only fair that we now get to spend some time at 10°C above it, right? #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/RGNKH...

It looks like a January heatwave is right around the corner, and it's worth remembering that they're pretty common. #yegwx #yeg January averages around 12 above-freezing Highs, and 4 of those get to 5°C. 2024 even got to 10°C twice, but those are pretty rare. public.tableau.com/views/Edmont...

And finally we have reached the end of our 2025 Year-in-Review, as we dig into Snow for Edmonton and other Canadian cities. (Blatchford no longer records snowfall, so most of the numbers will be from the International Airport) edmontonweathernerdery.blogspot.com/2026/01/2025... #yegwx #yeg

Are you ready for our 2025 Year-in-Review: Part 2 - Precipitation! We will take a look at Edmonton, and some other cities across Canada... edmontonweathernerdery.blogspot.com/2026/01/2025... #yegwx #yeg

And now, what you've all been waiting for! It's time for our big look back at 2025 with our Year-in-Review: Part 1 - Temperatures... edmontonweathernerdery.blogspot.com/2026/01/2025... #yegwx #yeg

Why not start your 2026 with a quick look back at the end of 2025? #yeg

The December that just wouldn't end is finally over. But how unusual was it? Let's take a look back at Edmonton weather for a pretty cold and very snowy December 2025. edmontonweathernerdery.blogspot.com/2025/12/dece... #yegwx #yeg

Will today finally give us a break from this coldsnap which seems like it's lasted forever? #yegwx #yeg It really started back on December 5th, but it's included a few little breaks which make it less interesting that some of our other recent epic deepfreezes... public.tableau.com/shared/FXK65...

The boxing day storm continued overnight, with 2.7cm of snow of the 27th. That brings the total for December to 59.9cm, which is the airport's snowiest December on record. Although Blatchford got 72.7cm in 1933, and 81.5cm in 1893... #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/63FWY...

For the Christmas "long weekend" Edmonton's average High is -4.7°C, and average Low is -13.7°C. #yegwx #yeg It will surprise no one to hear that in 2025 we were well below that, with the warmest High getting to -12.5°C, and warmest Low to -21.1°C... public.tableau.com/shared/M8BTZ...

9cm more at the airport on boxing day (and possibly some more this morning) brings the snow total for December to 57.2cm. #yegwx #yeg That's the airport's snowiest December on record. But Blatchford did get 72.7cm in 1933, and 81.5cm in 1893. public.tableau.com/shared/SPJD9...

Apparently the temperature is still dropping, so this might not be final. But Christmas Day's High of -16.7°C and Low of (let's say) -21.8°C is cold. But it's not as cold as 2021, 2017 or 2012. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/PCBCZ...

It feels like this is the most December that ever Decembered, but the average temperature is still in the same range as 2022, 2021, 2013, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008... There's still a week of mostly cold to go, so we'll see where we end up. public.tableau.com/shared/QJRKR...

The airport got 10.2cm of snow on Christmas Eve. That brings December's total so far to 48.2cm which (to my surprise) is the snowiest December on record for the airport... #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/SWZBN...

So Christmas Eve 2025 ends up just a bit colder than 2021, which makes it the coldest Christmas Eve since 2012. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/4H6DN...

For Christmas Eve Edmonton's average High is -4°C, and average Low is -13°C. #yegwx #yeg Recent years that got above freezing were 2024, 2020, 2014, 2013, 2011, etc. Years with Lows around -20°C were 2022, 2021, 2017, 2012, etc. (2025 will be a cold one) public.tableau.com/shared/SGF8T...

This coldsnap is cold enough to be annoying, but not cold enough to be interesting. #yegwx #yeg So far December has been below average for the most part, and it will join 2022 as one of our cold Decembers... public.tableau.com/shared/GX7PM...

We're getting close to the end of the year, and at this point it looks like December will join February as the only months in 2025 which were colder than our 20th century average... #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/G68Q8...

On December 16&17 the Airport got 18.6cm of snow. #yegwx #yeg Crossing the 15cm mark for a storm is fairly uncommon. We might get 1 in a winter, but many winters (2022-2023, 2021-2022, 2019-2020) don't see a storm that big. 2018-2019 did get 2 (Sep & Dec). public.tableau.com/shared/RH799...

With Snowpocalypse 2025 apparently on the way, during a lot of winters we don't see a 15cm storm. Recently 2022-2023, 2021-2022 & 2019-2020 didn't get there. And for 25cm storms, the airport has only had 10 since the 1960s, most recently in May 2003. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/CHFW5...

🌡15.7°C in Vancouver YVR, new monthly record high! It's an historic day for British Columbia with dozens of monthly records broken (highest max and highest min). H/T Thierry Goose: Full summary later this evening. #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX #YVRWX

It's getting pretty sloppy out there. #yegwx #yeg The High of at least 8.5°C will make this our 2nd warmest December 15th on record. 1980 has the record at 10.4°C. public.tableau.com/shared/7TQHR...

When it gets above 5°C today in Calgary they'll say "Huh, a chinook". If it happens here, we'll say "Don't get used to it. This never happens. 13 months of -40°C, etc". (in December they average around 9 5°C days, and for us it's 3) #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/K44G2...

Just before midnight December 11 dropped down to -25.1°C, making it our first -20°C of the winter, as well as our first -25°C. #yegwx #yeg The last -25°C that we had was at the end of the big February deepfreeze, on February 19th. public.tableau.com/shared/YXCRG...

Will our High make it above -20°C today? #yegwx #yeg We've been sitting at around -23°C for 10 hours now. On average we get around 7 -20°C *Highs* each winter. Although 2021-2022 got to 14, while 2015-2016 & 2016-2017 (El Niño years) had none. public.tableau.com/shared/G7WZ7...

We've had a few cool days, but December 11th will be Edmonton's first official -20°C of the winter. #yegwx #yeg The last time that we had one was back on February 20th, which was 293 days ago. public.tableau.com/shared/H36Q9...

As we prepare for the impending deepfreeze, how about some light reading? Last year we took a look at Edmonton's history of deepfreezes, along with some of the unusual ones that we've had in recent years. #yegwx #yeg bsky.app/profile/yegw...

This morning is cold & snowy, but yesterday the airport got 2.7mm of rain. And that's the airport's 3rd rainy day so far in December. 2024 also had 3 rainy December days, with the latest on the 21st. A lot of Decembers will get at least 1. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/D67W3...

Somehow it's December already, which means that it's time for our big look back at Edmonton weather for November 2025. #yegwx #yeg edmontonweathernerdery.blogspot.com/2025/12/nove...
