Edmonton Weather: No more heat, bring on the rain

It is 15.4 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station, with winds blowing from the west and northwest at 8 km/h.

rain. Great, great rain. And a lot of looks.

But not today. Or maybe today. Who knows, I don’t really forecast the weather, but the real forecasters say today will be a mix of sunny and cloudy skies with a slight chance of afternoon showers.

Then the floodgates will open. At least three days of temperatures in the mid-high teens and a good chance of rain each day. There may be some rain over the weekend, but things look to pick back up in time, so don’t worry too much about Saturday and Sunday.

For now, I’ll take comfort in the cooler temperatures, making my living room actually more comfortable to sit in. Maybe next year that portable AC unit I’ve been holding off on will finally spring…
