Fifth wettest July on record to end with sunny weather
As one of Calgary's rainiest Julys on record draws to a close, Calgarians can look forward to a few days of reprieve from the wet weather, followed by another rainy weekend. This month was the fifth wettest July on record, with 139.6 millimeters as of Sunday evening — more than double the average precipitation for July. 'We could move into fourth place or even third place today, depending on if we get into another thunderstorm,' said Crawford Luke, a meteorologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada. 'There was one earlier this morning, and we could expect another one later today.' The rainiest ever July was in 1927, which saw a total of 245.4 millimeters of precipitation.

Some areas, including Bow Valley, Canada Olympic Park and Cochrane, were the chilliest on record for that day. Beginning Tuesday, however, Calgarians will be able to enjoy a few days of sunny weather — though it may come with higher-than-average humidity after the record-breaking rain. Though more showers are predicted for the upcoming long weekend, current forecasts are showing that the weather should improve in August. 'It looks like, overall, it's going to be average for precipitation over the next few weeks, and temperatures should actually be on the warm side,' Luke said. River flows elevated, but no flooding expected River levels are currently higher than normal for this time of year, but are not yet at risk of flooding, according to Frank Frigo, the city's manager of environmental management. 'Though flows are elevated, they're not at the point where any kind of overland flooding is expected, and no flood response is anticipated,' he said. However, anyone spending time on or around Calgary's rivers in the coming days should be cautious of other risks associated with elevated flows, Frigo said. 'When we have higher flows like this, the temperature of the water is cooler,' he said. 'We have the potential for near-bank erosion, and the turbidity is high — that means you can't really see through the water to notice any potential debris or hazards that might be there.' Debris in the rivers tends to collect around bridges, so extra caution is advised for those areas. Frigo said the city has also responded to more than 560 service calls over the past 10 days due to localized flooding throughout the city. 'We are seeing some localized and shorter-term ponding in open spaces and on roadways, streets and green spaces as well,' he said. 'We're trying to address those in a prioritized manner.' Calgarians are encouraged to call 311 to report any flooding concerns.

Whitehorse saw driest June in nearly a century
If it seemed drier than normal last month in Whitehorse, you weren't imagining it — the city saw the lowest amount of precipitation on record for any June since record-keeping began in 1941. Megan Bercier, a hydrologist with the Yukon government, says it was a combination of factors including a below-average snowpack, a delayed melt, and no sustained period of hot weather to trigger glacial melt. However, Bercier says it hasn't quite reached drought conditions. "We're not currently in a drought. We are under extremely dry conditions, although ... we're coming back to average conditions as of, kind of early July," she said. "We had really low water levels throughout June and they've kind of just picked up now and reached kind of average water levels." Most of the territory was under fire restrictions in late June because of the dry conditions but those restrictions were lifted earlier this month. Bercier said most regions of the Yukon are now reaching average water levels for this time of year. Dave Phillips, a senior climatologist at Environment Canada, said Whitehorse has seen relatively dry conditions since the beginning of the year. From January to June, every month except February saw below-normal precipitation. He also says that's been a common pattern over the last decade. "If we take a look at Whitehorse, I think there's no question about it that conditions have been drier than normal," Phillips said.

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.

Rain to start the week with a high of 11 C on Tuesday
July has been an unusually wet month in Calgary. Unofficial rainfall totals from the Environment and Climate Change Canada weather station at YYC International Airport showed nearly 50 millimetres of rain in Calgary from Thursday through Sunday. More rain is expected to start this week beginning Monday afternoon and continuing until Tuesday night. Rain to start the week with a high of 11 C on Tuesday Central Alberta will be the meeting point for two moisture-laden systems coming in from the north and south. The northern low will drag colder air in along it's initial front which will force temperatures to peak well below seasonal values. In Calgary, the high on Tuesday will be just 11 C. Overnight temperatures from Monday to Tuesday will be so low west of Calgary that mixed precipitation and/or snow is possible in some higher-elevation communities. Rain to start the week with a high of 11 C on Tuesday The second system that is tracking along the southern border of Alberta and B.C. will add even more moisture to the corridor from Highway 3 through to Red Deer. Rain will taper off later Tuesday as the upper pattern starts to change and make room a high pressure system from the Pacific basin. Rain to start the week with a high of 11 C on Tuesday Aside from the rain to start the week, temperatures are expected to fluctuate quite quickly. The daytime high on Wednesday will be 11 degrees warmer than Tuesday's. Rain to start the week with a high of 11 C on Tuesday We should see some moderation for the end of the week and the weekend when daytime highs return to values closer to the average high of 23 C. Conditions will be varied over that same period with a mix of sun and cloud Wednesday and Thursday and a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday.
