Cooler weather, rain bolster wildfire fight in Flin Flon
A wildfire in the Flin Flon, Man. area is shown in a government handout photo on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO — Manitoba Government *MANDATORY CREDIT* A weekend of more moderate weather helped keep the wildfire threatening Flin Flon at bay. The city posted on its Facebook page Sunday night that cooler weather and rain bolstered firefighting efforts over the weekend. There have been no structure fires in the city, the update added, and crews continue to monitor for hot spots. 'As this is an active and volatile situation, we are still under a mandatory evacuation order, as well as a state of emergency,' the post said. 'Only authorized emergency personnel are permitted to enter the community.' The city also said water and wastewater facilities are fully functional, and testing has been done to ensure drinking water is safe. Wellness checks also continue for the community's pets, the city added. The province's latest fire bulletin released Sunday noted the fire near Sherridon, which triggered Flin Flon's evacuation, is still over 300,000 hectares – about five times the size of Winnipeg. It is deemed out of control.

Hot, dry start to the week with highs around 30 C in southern Alberta on Monday
Monday's weather will be very similar to Sunday's across southern Alberta with clear skies, minimal wind and temperatures that are well above seasonal. Early Monday, air quality advisories were issued for the southeast portion of the province as smoke from northern Alberta was impacting the region. By 8 a.m. Monday, those advisories had been lifted, but smoke will likely move back in as it tracks south and east along the foothills and over the ridge of high pressure that is currently serving as the main weather-maker in southern Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan. Smoke was noticeable in Calgary early Monday, but both Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Alberta government sites were still reporting levels well-below the threshold level for an advisory with an air quality health index rating of 3 - or low risk - as of 8 a.m. Both daytime highs and lows are expected to remain elevated on Monday with some locations in southern Alberta forecast to see highs as warm as 34 C. That ridge is expected to start to flatten by Wednesday allowing for more instability to move in, bringing scattered showers through the B.C. interior before persistent periods of rain impact southern Alberta on Thursday and Friday. In Calgary, there is the potential for more than 20 millimetres of rain over just a couple of days. This rain will be helpful for wildfires and to help lower the fire danger risk. Hot, dry start to the week with highs around 30 C in southern Alberta on Monday The fire danger relative index as of 7 a.m. Monday, June 9, 2025. As of Monday morning, most of the province remains under an extreme rating according to the fire danger relative index, which is an assessment of how easy it would be for a wildfire to start, how difficult it would be to control a wildfire if one does start and the amount of potential damage from a wildfire. Temperatures will start to moderate by the end of the week, getting closer to the seasonal high of 19.5 C.
