Calgary has seen more than 100 mm of rain in July, with more expected
As expected, there was a substantial amount of rain in the Calgary area over the weekend, with some communities recording more than 40 mm between Friday to Sunday. The rainfall total at the official Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) weather station at the YYC Calgary International Airport showed just under 50 mm from Thursday to Saturday. This precipitation comes on the heels of a wet end to June and a soggy start of July in Calgary – linked mostly to a few noteworthy rain events. Many of the storms in the Calgary area recently have included variable rainfall amounts (e.g. some communities have recorded higher totals than others), with the overall region trending toward a wetter than average month of July. According to ECCC, in the first 20-days of July, there has been 101.8 mm of rain recorded at the airport – 36.1 mm more than the average total for the entire month of July. It's even more significant given that July is typically the second-wettest month in Calgary. According to the Canadian Climate Normals data from ECCC (1991 to 2020), the wettest months in Calgary are June (average of 112.7 mm of precipitation), July (average of 65.7 mm of precipitation) and August (average of 53.8 mm of precipitation). Those three months are usually responsible for more than half of the annual precipitation in Calgary, or a combined 232.2 mm out of 445.4 mm annually. The precipitation total for June and July - up to and including July 20, 2025 - is already 196.2 mm, with most of that falling between June 20 and July 19. In some ways, this moisture is much needed for the Calgary area, given that both the winter and spring were unusually dry. However, the delivery or amount over duration of this summer's rain might eliminate some of the apparent benefits. June 2025 brought in 94.4 mm of rain to Calgary – a little shy of the monthly average of 112.7 mm. However, most this precipitation fell over a short period of time, meaning not all of that moisture would have been absorbed by an already saturated surface. More than two-thirds of June's rain was recorded over the last 10-days of the month, with most of that rain falling over a two-day period. July has had similar 'all or nothing' events – including this past weekend - and we are potentially heading into another. More rain is expected in central and southern Alberta this week – starting on Monday and Tuesday. More then 100 mm of rain in July so far 2 Two systems are expected to converge over south-central Alberta over the next 24-hours, making it difficult to pinpoint the locations that will see the highest accumulations, but it seems likely the bulk should land on the western side of the aforementioned area – extending from the U.S. border south of Lethbridge, north to Red Deer and east and west of Highway 2 and the QEII corridors. On the high end of precipitation estimates, there is the potential for another 30 to 50 mm of rain in Calgary over the next two days. On the low end, there is a chance of 15 to 30 mm of rain by Wednesday. More persistent rain is expected to start in Calgary by the late afternoon or early evening on Monday and continue through to Tuesday night. More then 100 mm of rain in July so far 3 Colder air will also be drawn into the province from the northern system, limiting Tuesday's daytime high to around 12-degrees below average for Calgary. In the higher elevations along the foothills, there is a chance of mixed precipitation and/or snow overnight Monday and early Tuesday as lows in that area could potentially sit close to 0 C.

Ontario announces $10M in funds to improve emergency response
Ontario announced $10 million in funds to improve its emergency response capabilities, just months after the province was hit with a major ice storm and wildfires. The money will ensure communities are better prepared to respond to local emergencies and have resources, such as debris removal tools, machinery, flood barriers, food services, and drones, that can be deployed at a moment's notice, said the province's minister of emergency preparedness and response. "The government is protecting Ontario from all threats, from wildland fires to flooding, ice storms or whatever else may come our way," said Jill Dunlop at a news conference Monday. The announcement comes after hundreds of thousands of Ontarians were left without power after a powerful ice storm swept across the province in late March. Emergency crews worked for over a week removing downed trees and debris and restoring power in the area. Hydro One said at the time that the storm was the most severe weather event the utility had faced since the ice storm of 1998. Environment Canada warned last year that Canadians should be prepared for more extreme weather events triggered by human-caused climate change. Thousands of Ontarians still without power after ice storm 4 months ago Hundreds of thousands of Ontarians are still without power after an ice storm swept across the province over the weekend. CBC's Clara Pasieka speaks to residents in Peterborough, Ont., about how they are coping. Last week, Toronto was ranked among the worst in the world for air quality due to smoke from forest fires over northern Ontario and the Prairies. The area burned by wildfires so far this season is the second-largest on record in Canada, government data shows. Wildfires have consumed 3.7 million hectares this year, which is six times the area of Prince Edward Island. Ontario organizations providing support Dunlop also announced Monday that the province is working with 13 Ontario partners to support local emergency responses. These include First Nations partners and non-governmental organizations, like Feed Ontario, GlobalMedic, Habitat for Humanity, and Salvation Army. The 13 partners will join the Ontario Corps, a province-wide group of skilled professionals and trained volunteers that the province can deploy to help communities respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. The province said that Ontario Corps was deployed during the ice storm, providing tree-clearing services, meals and food hampers, supporting evacuation reception centres, and conducting wellness checks. "Without the help of our Ontario Corps partners, the restoration efforts from the ice storm would have been far less effective," said Dunlop. Ontario Corps has also been providing support to the communities affected by the wildfires this year, she said. One of the organizations joining the Ontario Corps is Team Rubicon Canada, a humanitarian organization that assists communities before, during, and after disasters and crises. The organization's chief operating officer said he's happy to join the initiative and to work to build a more "prepared, practiced, and resilient" Ontario.
