Cool and Gloomy Weather in Calgary with Showers

Today is looking quite cool and gloomy in Calgary with temperatures starting around 13°C and mostly cloudy skies. It seems like a rainy day is ahead, with a high chance of showers throughout the day. In the morning, there’s a 30% chance of rain but that increases to a 60% probability by evening.

The north winds are blowing at around 20 km/h and might gust up to 40 km/h later. Because of this chilly breeze, it’s going to feel even cooler outside. If you’re heading out today, make sure to have your rain jacket handy since the high temperature will only be 17°C.

The humidity today is hovering around 55-60%, and the barometric pressure is stable at 102.0 kPa, indicating we’re in for some wet conditions. Tomorrow isn’t looking much better either, with a similar chance of showers and a high temperature barely reaching 16°C.

In an interesting historical note, on this day in 1914, Calgary hit a scorching 35.6°C, a stark contrast to today’s cool and drizzly weather. The record low temperature was 1.9°C in 2002, so today’s weather falls somewhere in between Calgary’s extremes.

If you’re planning to go out, it’s best to layer up with warm and waterproof clothing. A light sweater under a waterproof jacket should keep you comfortable. Don’t forget your umbrella or rain hat to stay dry!

Historically, the most rainfall Calgary has seen on this date was 42.7 mm back in 1924. Although we probably won’t reach those levels of rainfall today, it’s always wise to be prepared for the ever-unpredictable Calgary weather!
