Nice week ahead!

Looks like we could be seeing the nicest stretch of weather of the summer this upcoming week! Models are indicating an upper ridge building over the Prairies which will block any weather systems from moving into southern MB over the next few days. This will bring plenty of sunshine with high temperatures in the mid 20s through mid week.. which is actually a little ABOVE normal for a change(now 22c) The upper ridge will flatten a bit by mid week then rebound again for the end of the week into next weekend.. bringing more dry weather and warm temperatures. At this point, models are indicating the next significant threat of rain won't be until Labour Day.. so it will be a good stretch of dry weather to finally start drying up some of those water logged fields over southern MB. We need it.

Rob's Obs updating again

Greetings all! I'm back from holidays after 4 glorious weeks in sunny Italy. I've been blissfully unaware about the weather in southern MB over the past month, but I'm sure I experienced more summer weather in the past 4 weeks than the past 2 years in Winnipeg!

My website has been updated with weather data from my weather station in Charleswood, and I'll try to get the blog going again in the next few days.

New month... Same story

Cool weather continues after third coolest July. Winnipeg waits while BC burns...

Cool week to end cool month..

After near seasonal temperatures this weekend, another spell of below normal temperatures will be ushered into southern MB Monday, which will continue through the end of the month. High temperatures for the upcoming week are forecast to remain around 20C each day.. a good 5-6 degrees below normal for late July. This will ensure that July will end up cooler than normal in Winnipeg and southern MB.. making it the 8^th consecutive month with mean temperatures below normal. Such a streak has happened only twice before in Winnipeg since 1971.. from Nov 1978 to June 1979, and from Oct 1995 to May 1996. Meanwhile, a huge upper ridge building over BC will maintain hot dry conditions over the province with temperatures of 35-40C through the upcoming week.
