Things may be a little rainy for a few days, but Friday’s forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 18°C. It gets even better on Saturday, with a high of 20°C; you better believe downtown will be packed with people for the Oilers vs Kings Game 6 watch party.
Sunday’s the best of all, with an incredible forecasted high of 25°C.
Temperatures around this range are relatively normal to see this time of year. However, ECCC has noticed Edmonton has been hitting the 20°C mark earlier over the last five years.
According to ECCC meteorologists, these are the dates Edmonton has hit its first 20°C day of the year since 2017:
- 2017: May 5
- 2018: April 24
- 2019: April 22
- 2020: April 20
- 2021: April 16
- 2022: April 8
Edmonton nearly hit the 20°C mark earlier this month; the warmest day we’ve seen so far was April 8, when the high reached 18.2°C.
So, make sure you get out and enjoy the first hot and sunny weekend of 2023!
