Cooler days on their way for Calgary weather this week

It’s no snowstorm, but it’ll definitely start feeling like fall in Calgary this week.

Following what has been an unusually warm September — especially given the record-breaking snowfall we saw around this time last year — this second week of October is expected to cool down ever so slightly.

Rather than the 20+°C days we say throughout last week, this one will bring things down to the low teens, according to The Weather Network.

However, there are a few choice days that will see that summery weather return, including this Monday, which is expected to reach upwards of 22°C.

Tuesday hits a high of 19°C, and Wednesday to 15°C. Both are expected to be mainly sunny.

Thursday will likely spike the thermometers to a high of 21°C and a low of 5°C, while Friday will bring one of the cooler days of the week with a high of just 13°C that feels like 12°C.

That crisp fall day will bring a mix of sun and clouds, meaning it may be the perfect day for a visit to the pumpkin patch.

Saturday warms right back up to a high of 18°C, and then Sunday echoes Friday’s forecast with a high of just 13°C.

So while you may need to pick and choose which days you decide to thrown on the toque and scarf with a PSL in hand (without completely overheating), this week may mark a turning point in the fall weather ahead.
