Weather roller coaster: Edmonton set to see a 16°C temperature swing
Edmonton is creeping up on its first brown Christmas in nearly 20 years, and a decent temperature dip is on the way for this weekend.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Edmonton will continue its journey of daytime highs above or at the freezing mark right up to Boxing Day, with a temperature swing coming for this weekend.
Edmontonians are set to experience a lovely daytime high of 5°C tomorrow and Friday before a dip to an overnight low of -11°C on Christmas Eve. The weather yo-yo continues!
When you do the math between Friday’s daytime high and Sunday’s overnight low, that’s a decent 16°C temperature swing. Bundle up!
