In addition, it only got down to about 19 or 20°C this morning, which is close to the old record high minimum of 19.4°C in 1952 for today. Wont know until tomorrow if we broke this record or not.
Here are some rainfall totals from yesterday's rainfall in southeastern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. Ear Falls, Ontario received over 70 mm of rainfall yesterday. The highest amount I could find in Manitoba was 63.2 mm in Berens River. Higher amounts also fell in the southern RRV thanks to trailing thunderstorms.

The hot and sticky weather continues through the entire week with highs near or above 30°C expected. Humidex values today and tomorrow will be in the high 30's.
Next chance for thunderstorms looks like tomorrow late day and tomorrow night. Best risk will be in western Manitoba tomorrow and then in the Interlake and eastern Manitoba tomorrow night.
I've only received 22.7 mm here in south St Vital this month... Normal August rainfall is about 79 mm. So far, 40 mm at the airport.
ReplyDeleteIt is very humid.
ReplyDeleteIncredible that we're getting severe thunderstorms all the way up north close to the Northwest Territories border in Saskatchewan this late in the summer... Seems like late July instead of late August right now!
ReplyDeleteStorm potential late tomorrow/tomorrow night looking a little less interesting in today's updates... but potential is still there for something. Best dynamics more and more look to be south of the border.
