It’s been a chilly week here in Edmonton, but our shivering will be done shortly with a nice rise in the temperature forecast for the city soon.
According to the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) forecast, the weather in Edmonton is well below average for today, Dec. 27; however, the thermometer will start to rise as we roll towards next week.
Edmonton is forecast to reach a high of -19°C today, with an overnight low of -26°C, with snow and blowing snow on tap. Daytime highs are on the rebound come tomorrow, with Sunday, Dec. 28, forecast to see a high of -7°C and increasing cloudiness.

It’s also shaping up to be a snowy end to 2025 and start to 2026, with a run of snow from New Year’s Eve straight to Friday, Jan. 2. Keep those snow shovels handy!
