Edmonton weather: T-minus 48 hours until winter begins to returns

Posted on 25.01.2023


Don’t say I didn’t warn you. We only have a few more hours of spring in January to enjoy before cooler temperatures start to move back in

A look at Wednesday’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

Currently, it’s -3 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 4 km/h winds from the west, northwest with a wind chill of -4.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. We only have a few more hours of spring in January to enjoy before cooler temperatures start to move back in.

Today we’re expected to reach 6 C as the daytime high! How amazing is that? Though, I should mention that there is a 30 per cent of showers late Wednesday afternoon but that’s just a blip on an almost perfect forecast.

Temperatures remain unseasonably warm for Thursday, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 4 C.

Friday is when we start to see the temperatures begin to drop back down into what we would call “normal” for January.

It was a nice run while we had it but I couldn’t help but think we would pay the price at some point for being so spoiled.
