Calgary has recorded half a year's worth of precipitation since June 20
Drying out on Wednesday. Jodi Hughes has a look at the five-day forecast from the Sky Watch Weather Centre. Drying out on Wednesday. Jodi Hughes has a look at the five-day forecast from the Sky Watch Weather Centre. Most of central and southern Alberta will undergo a period of recovery after a second rain event in less than a week. Persistent rain fell over the foothills and the Calgary area from Monday night to Tuesday afternoon. There were variable rainfall totals depending on location, but according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) at YYC International Airport, 26.3 millimetres of rain was recorded in less than 24 hours. At the ECCC Springbank weather station, 54.1 millimetres fell over the first two days of this week. Calgary has recorded half a year's worth of precipitation since June 20 Radar and satellite image of rain falling over the Calgary area on Monday, July 22, 2025. It is estimated that some communities southwest of Calgary saw rainfall totals between 80 to over 110 millimetres on Monday and Tuesday. This rain proved problematic in many locations since the ground was close to saturation from the storms that rolled through central and southern Alberta on Thursday through Saturday. As a result, water pooling and overland flooding was observed throughout the forecast area. The rain is turning into a familiar story as the start of this summer has been unusually wet. Between July 1 to 22, Calgary has officially recorded 128.3 millimetres of rain, which is approaching close to double the normal amount of rain typical for the entire month of July. According to the Canadian Climate Normals data (1991 to 2020) the summer months are usually the wettest in Calgary with June (112.7 millimetres), July (65.7 millimetres) and August (53.8 millimetres), averaging a combined 232.2 millimetres of precipitation, or nearly half of the annual precipitation (445.4 millimetres). After a drier than normal winter and spring in Calgary, June brought in 94.4 millimetres, but most of that fell after June 20. In other words, in just over a month (June 20 to July 22) Calgary had had 222.7 millimetres of rain, which is half of the average annual precipitation. An incoming ridge of high pressure will continue to track west to east through B.C. on Wednesday, which will help to moderate conditions and introduce a brief period of stability for southern Alberta. Calgary has recorded half a year's worth of precipitation since June 20 The high of Calgary Wednesday will sit around 22 C, with mainly sunny conditions and a light south wind. Thursday will be even warmer with highs in the high 20s and low 30s across southern Alberta. On the weekend, the temperatures should sit closer to seasonal for both the daily maximum and minimum temperatures, but there is a chance of some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across the region – including in Calgary.

Dazzling display danced in the night skies over Orillia
The northern lights dance over the City of Orillia on Tues., July 22, 2025. Residents in and around Orillia were treated to a dazzling display of the northern lights Tuesday night as the Aurora Borealis lit up the sky with a summer appearance. A local photographer captured the spectacular show of green, purple, and pink, which danced in the sky and reflected on the waters of Lake Couchiching. Environment Canada does not forecast aurora activity, but space agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Canada's Aurora Forecast often provide updates when auroras are likely. Experts say the best time to see the northern lights in Ontario are during periods of low cloud cover, minimal light pollution, and when solar storm alerts are active. The next peak viewing period for the northern lights in Canada is expected to be in the fall, according to experts.

Air force helicopter rescues stranded Sudbury kayakers
A 6:43 a.m. Wednesday morning, a helicopter from the Royal Canadian Air Force's 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron from Canadian Forces Base Trenton successfully airlifted the two men to safety. Two people kayaking on the Onaping River, north of Levack on Tuesday had to be rescued after taking a wrong turn and getting trapped by a waterfall. Greater Sudbury Police were alerted when a resident contacted them at 11:30 p.m. 'reporting two overdue kayakers who had departed around 1:30 p.m. and had not been heard from since.' 'After several unsuccessful attempts to contact them, the caller reached out to police for assistance,' police said in a news release Wednesday. The emergency communications centre was able to contact one of the kayakers by cellphone. 'He reported that they had taken a wrong turn on the river and were forced to go ashore due to an impassable waterfall,' police said. 'Upon assessment, it was determined that the kayakers were surrounded by fast-moving water to the north and south, with a waterfall immediately to their south. The surrounding terrain consisted of dense forest and swamp, with no accessible trails.' — Greater Sudbury Police Police responded to the area after the communications centre was able to pinpoint their location using the What3Words geolocation app. 'Upon assessment, it was determined that the kayakers were surrounded by fast-moving water to the north and south, with a waterfall immediately to their south,' police said. 'The surrounding terrain consisted of dense forest and swamp, with no accessible trails. Due to the challenging conditions of the area, a decision was made to request aerial extraction.' A 6:43 a.m. Wednesday morning, a helicopter from the Royal Canadian Air Force's 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron from Canadian Forces Base Trenton successfully airlifted the two men to safety. 'Both individuals were located in good health and did not require medical attention,' police said. 'The Greater Sudbury Police Service extends sincere thanks to the individual who reported the kayakers missing. Your vigilance played a critical role in ensuring their safe return.' In light of the incident, police remind people heading outdoors to take precautions. 'Inform someone of your destination, route and expected return time,' police said. 'Ensure your equipment is in good working order and that you know how to use it. Pack essentials: water, snacks, first aid supplies and activity-specific gear.' It's also important to bring extra batteries for flashlights and GPS devices and keep your phone charged and powered on. Should you get lost or disoriented in a safe location, stay put – this greatly increases your chances of being found quickly.
