Winnipeg Braces for a Week of Glorious Sunshine and Unseasonably Warm Weather!

Get ready, Winnipeg! After what felt like an endless winter chill, meteorologist Colleen Bready brings us the news we've all been longing for: an extended stretch of unseasonably warm temperatures and abundant sunshine is heading our way, promising a delightful reprieve from the cold.

This isn't just a fleeting warm front; Bready’s forecast indicates that the city is poised to bask in well-above-seasonal temperatures for at least a week, with some models suggesting this glorious spell could last even longer.

While the seasonal average for this time of year hovers around a frosty -4 degrees Celsius, Winnipeg can look forward to daytime highs soaring into the comfortable range of 10 to 14 degrees Celsius.

It's a stark and incredibly welcome contrast to the record-breaking cold snap we endured in January, which saw Winnipeg experience its coldest month in 25 years.

February, however, has truly turned the corner, delivering a significant and much-appreciated warm-up that has many already dreaming of spring.

While the forecast is predominantly sunny, there's a slight chance of light showers or drizzle Friday evening, but fear not, as the skies are expected to clear up beautifully for the entire weekend.

We might see occasional cloud cover, but the overall picture remains overwhelmingly bright and sunny, allowing us to soak up those precious rays.

Looking further ahead, the long-range outlook continues to paint a rosy picture, with temperatures expected to remain above seasonal averages for the next two weeks.

So, dust off your lighter jackets, plan your outdoor activities, and prepare to enjoy what promises to be a truly fantastic period of weather for Winnipeg. It’s time to embrace the warmth and sunshine!
